Homemade Chili Seasoning
How many times have you started a recipe and realized you were out of a specific seasoning? It has happened to me more than once, so I soon realized that I could simply make my own seasonings. This nice thing about that is that you can control everything to make it perfect for your own taste needs. Once you have a batch made, it will store well for months as long as you find a good airtight container.

How to Make Chili Seasoning
There is literally one step to this recipe. Take all of those seasonings you just located and…wait for it…mix them together. That’s it. Outside of a few little tweaks to flavor (if you want), you are done. Slap the lid on the container and store it in your cupboard for up to 6 months.
Glass vs. Plastic Storage for Seasonings and Spices
An airtight glass container will extend the shelf-life of your seasonings and spices longer than an airtight plastic container. Glass is less porous, so less air can enter the container which can damage spices. A lid of a glass container also gives a tighter seal. Also, keep light exposure to your spices to a minimum, especially if you do not store them in a cabinet.
