You guys!!!! Guess what? October is National Chili Month!!!! Guess what that means? Chili for dayyyysssss!!!!! There are so many chili spice mixes out there. If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you’ve probably picked up on my dislike for store-bought mixes of any kind. The chemically aftertaste is just too much. So, what do we do? We make our own, of course!
I’ve mixed and matched lots of different ingredients, and this combination has become the family favorite. I’m not a big fan of making a single batch of spice mix every time I want to make chili (who has time for that, seriously?), so I make this large batch, making it ready in a jiff if we have a hankering for chili. This amount of dry spice mix (about 2 cups) usually gets our family through the winter season. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:
(*all ingredients are dry*)
- 2/3 cup chili powder
- 2 Tablespoons Paprika
- 1/3 cup Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/3 cup minced Garlic
- 1/3 cup minced Onion
- ¼ cup Cumin
- 3 Tablespoons Basil
- ¼ cup Parsley
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2/3 cup White Flour
Instructions:
Mix all of these dry ingredients in a bowl. I like to use a whisk so that it gets really well mixed. You can also put them in a larger container with a sealed lid and do a little dance while you shake, shake, shake it. ? Keep the mix in a cool dry place. I like to use the nice IKEA spice jars to store my spices.
