Homemade Chili Seasoning is great to have on hand for all of your favorite chili recipes. Nothing fills you up on a cold night like a big bowl of chili and with a homemade seasoning blend, it can be as mild or spicy as you prefer.
Smoked Chili is a dinner we can all agree on and if we have venison in the freezer, Grilled Venison Chili is always a favorite.
Making homemade chili seasoning is super simple and it's made with just a few pantry ingredients that you probably have on hand. We like to add a little brown sugar to ours but it's optional if you would like to leave it out.
Ingredients Needed
- Brown Sugar
- Ancho Chili Powder ~ or any red chili powder
- Granulated Garlic
- Granulated Onion Powder
- Ground Cumin
- Smoked Paprika

- *Cayenne Pepper if you want it spicy
Directions
- Add everything to a bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together with a whisk or large tined fork, mixing thoroughly until no lumps remain.

Notes
Make it Spicy: Add 1 - 3 teaspoons of cayenne pepper to add more heat to the chili seasoning.

Double recipe as needed and store in an airtight container up to 6 months.
