Chili Powder

WI Cheesehead's Note:

This uses paprika as a base (no weird ingredients). I mixed a half batch of this up to use in Tex-Mex Lasagna and it tasted great. From AHA's Low-Salt Cookbook.

Loved that this can be made with spices I have in the pantry. The big plus is that this has no jadded salt. In will keep this recipe handy to make again.

Chili powder/mix is really hard to find here, unless it's those seasoning packets with loads of chemicals. So I'm happy to have found this. I made as written, I like that you can kick up the heat when your'e cooking with some extra cayenne if you want to. Very quick to put together, it'll be a pantry staple for me.
