How To Make Homemade Chili Seasoning Mix

Making your own seasoning mixes is the easiest thing you could ever do in the kitchen. I find it’s easiest to collect all your spice jars on your kitchen counter first so you aren’t constantly hunting for the next jar. But aside from that, all you do is put the spices in a bowl or bag and mix them up!

How Much Seasoning Should You Use?

The formula for this mix is pretty simple.

Use 2 tbsp. for every 1 lb. of meat

Once you get a feel for the strength of this seasoning mix, you can easily adjust with more if you prefer. But 2 tbsp. is a good start.
