Jeri's Chili Mix

JeriBinNC's Note:

This is really easy to mix up and keep on hand to speed up that pot of chili. Use it to taste; I use at least 2 tablespoons per pound of meat, depending on how spicy I want to make it.

Servings: 6

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Use to flavor and thicken chili, using at least 2 tablespoons of mix per pound of meat.
2. Here's how I usually make chili with this mix:.
3. 1-2 lbs ground beef.
4. 1 onion, chopped.
5. 1 bell pepper chopped.
6. 3 14-oz cans diced tomatoes.
7. 3 cans beans (kidney, black, white, or a mix).
8. 4-5 Tbsp chili mix.
9. 1 can of beer.
10. Brown the meat, onion, and bell pepper. Dump in everything else (don't drain the canned items) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
