Notes

Yield: about ½ cup seasoning

Chili powder can vary in heat from brand to brand, so make sure to give yours a taste before making your chili. If the chili powder you are using is spicy, you can reduce or eliminate the jalapeno pepper from this recipe.

Use fresh spices when making any homemade spice blend, for optimum flavor. If you spices have been sitting in your spice cabinet for over 6 months, it is time to toss them.

Store the seasoning in an airtight container, it should be for a couple of months.

If you don't have smoked paprika you can use regular paprika.
