This is GREAT! I was in the middle of making a big pot of Turkey Chili when I realized I didn't have a seasoning packet. So I figured I would look it up on here and found this recipe. To my great suprise it was SO much better than the store bought packet and I had all the ingredients on hand! I will definately be skipping the store packets and using this one from now on. I doubled the recipe (I was making a lot) and only used half the red pepper flakes it called for as I have little toddlers. The whole family and our guests loved it! Thank you for a great MONEY SAVING recipe! I love when I can make great things without having to go to the store! ;)

Great chili seasoning mix!! I am making Tamale Pie and it was just right for the type of seasoning I like. Not too hot, and not too mild. Will have this made up and on hand from now on. Thanks, Dancer--Carole in Orlando

Its in the pot right now! Whenever I am making a recipe for the first time I try to follow it exactly. However, I'd already added quite a bit of fresh diced onion to my ground beef, so I left out the dried onion. I also went a little less on the red pepper flakes until I could figure out how hot it would be. I err on the side of mild.
With my 1.25 lb of ground beef and onions, I put in 2 cans of diced tomatoes, a can of red kidney beans, a can of black beans and a can that says "chili beans in a tasty sauce" (from the smell I think it would be mild.) I just dumped the cans right in with the spice that I had poured over my meat & onions. (In hindsight, I probably should have added 1/2 c. water to the spice and meat and let it simmer a while before added the tomatos and beans.) I also throw in 1c. of thawed frozen corn. Becuase I had new white peppercorns to grind and some oregano from the spice store in town, I added a bit of those but I did a taste test before and they aren't necessary! :)
Thanks for the recipe...I'll be using it again!
