Wanted : MCCORMICK Original Chili Seasoning Mix recipe

RECIPE FORUM Recipe Exchange

My brother made some chili the other day and I really liked it. He indicated that one of the things he added was two packets of McCormick’s Original Chili Seasoning Mix.

Does anyone have a “recipe” on what to put together to recreate this mix with home spices without having to buy the packets? It doesn’t matter to me what’s in it (MSG, whatever) as long as I can recreate the flavor. I’m already hooked on McCormick’s spices, so am not trying to avoid the brand… I just don’t see the sense in paying $2 to $3 for something I could make for much less with the same spices and still have the same great flavor. :slight_smile: If I don’t have any of the necessary spices, I don’t mind picking them up… I’ll STILL save money in the long run. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your help!

I haven’t tasted McCormick’s Original Chili Seasoning Mix. I make my own chili powder, here’s my recipe:

Homemade Medium Hot Chili Powder

5 Tbs ground New Mexico Chili’s
2 Tbs paprika
2 Tbs ground cumin
2 Tbs garlic powder
2 Tbs onion powder
1 tsp Mexican oregano
1/4 to 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)

Mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup of chili powder.

For milder chili powder use 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
For medium hot chili powder use 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper.

Use as you would any store bought chili powder.

Thanks! I’ll copy those, though in the meantime I’m really looking for how to make that specific packet. :slight_smile:

That’s awesome though, thanks!
