Homemade Chili Seasoning is a must-have seasoning to add to your other homemade seasonings. It’s a great way to maximize flavor and save money! Plus, it’s perfect to add to my Grandma’s Homemade Chili Recipe or season some roasted vegetables.
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.
Homemade Chili Seasoning Recipe
When it comes to making your own seasoning, the odds are that you probably have all the ingredients you need to make this homemade chili seasoning.
This recipe includes Onion powder— did you know you can make your own homemade onion powder for this recipe? It’s delicious and tastes so much fresher!
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. This chili seasoning should last up to 6 months.

Question…. How is this making chili powder when one is literally adding chili powder to the mix? Would this then not be a chili blend?
It’s not making chili powder, it is making chili seasoning. Chili powder is one of the ingredients.
