Texas Bowl of Red Chili Seasoning Blend |

Описание: If you love that Texas bowl of red chili flavor from the boxed kits, this is the homemade seasoning blend that replaces a Carroll Shelby style kit seasoning for 2 lb of meat. Big chili flavor, no filler salt, and you can batch it into a jar so chili night is always ready. 🌶️

📌 Today’s Verse: “The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit.” Proverbs 21:5

This chili seasoning blend is designed to taste like a classic kit style Texas chili. Chili powder plus ancho gives depth, cumin brings the backbone, smoked paprika adds warmth, and a touch of cocoa rounds the whole thing out without making it sweet. The optional masa harina thickener gives you that familiar kit texture.

🥄 Instructions
Whisk everything in a bowl until uniform.
Funnel into an airtight jar and shake hard for 15 seconds.
Label: “45 g seasons 2 lb meat. Salt free.”

Optional grind method
If your chili powder is coarse, pulse the blend 2 to 3 quick pulses in a spice grinder for a smoother, more kit like texture. Do not powder it completely or it clumps easier.

How to store
Airtight glass jar, wide mouth preferred.
Store in a cool dark pantry.
Best flavor for 6 to 9 months.
Measure with a dry spoon, never shake over steam, and keep away from the stove. A food safe desiccant packet helps.

💡 Pro Tips
• If you include masa in the jar, count it inside the 45 g serving.
• Want milder chili. Cut cayenne in half.
• Cocoa is there for depth, not sweetness. Keep it small and it works.
