Pretty sure this has been discussed before but I'm bringing it up again.
I've been using the Swansons brand and I just ordered some more. I like it.
They also sell the Frontera brand and another organic brand. I was shocked
to see that both of those include allspice and cloves in them. Those are
not seasonings that I want in my chili powder and one showed a picture of
the bottle. It appeared to have those red pepper flakes in it and not be a
powder at all.

Do you make your own chili powder or buy it? What does it have in it?
Thanks.

I prefer to buy it premade - unfortunately my favorite brand,
Grandma's, is now defunct and she's not coming back. When I make a
pot of chili with my own seasoning ingredients, I don't make a batch
of powder first - I just add stuff until it tastes right and I've done
a pretty good job of it so far. I just looked on the internet for a
copycat Grandma's recipe and found this
http://www.texascooking.com/features...hilepowder.htm
I don't go to all that trouble and just use preground chilies, garlic,
cumin and leaf oregano. To serve, I finish off my pot of chili with
fresh cilantro - because I like that flavor.

You could start with this guesstimate and adjust it to your liking

3 Tablespoons mild to medium heat powdered chili
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano (Mexican, if you have it)
1 teaspoon ground hot chili pepper or cayenne (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic (I like garlic. so I'd start with 1t)

Chili powders are like curry powders and contain a mix of other spices
depending on the brand. I use commecially prepared chili and curry
powders, but then add my own additional spices too. Silly perhaps, but
that's what I like.

Whenever I make chili, it turns out to be Texas Goulash. Sweet Paprika, Hot Paprika, cumin, hot sauce, water, garlic, onions, cilantro, oregano, ground meat, sometimes beef, sometimes pork sometimes both, and of course beans.. Lots of beans. Red Kidney Beans. I made turkey chili once. Didn't like the texture.

I rarely use it so I just buy it premade.
My jar is "Spice Classics"

Ingredients listed on the label a
- chili peppers
- salt
- spices (I can't believe they whooshed over that one)
- garlic

Here's another jar I have, different company but at least they are
better with the ingredient list:
This is a generic brand from Eckerd drug store.

Ingredients listed on the label a
- chili pepper
- cumin
- salt
- oregano
- garlic powder

Both have silicon dioxide added to prevent caking.

HTH you.. G.

Gephardt chili powder or Fiesta Extra Fancy chili powder, neither one
has salt listed as an ingredient. When I make chili, I simmer dried
ancho chiles for 15 minutes and that is what I use instead of chili
powder. I do use chili powder for other things, though.

Tone's runs a close second for basic chili powder, especially if you use
larger quantities. Another brand they carry at Restaurant Depot similar
to Tone's is also good.

Hi SF. What I really like is chili served over the little Hungarian style dumplings. Nokeldi. Or some such spelling. We call them Nockerln. Basically the same recipe as for Spaetzle, but a different shape. In a pinch I like Texas Goulash served over bowtie pasta.

Gebhart when I can find it but most of the time it's Fiesta, too.

Julie, I buy Red Chili from New Mexico, and then I can make it like I like it, the only problem is , it cames isn a large amount and so some of my neighbors and I share . Look on Amazon.com.

It's a gross cross-cultural contamination (Greek-Mexican) and also

Not a Gebhart fan. I don't think I've seen Fiesta at the store where
I shop the most - but it might be at a different store in the same
chain where more Hispanics/Latinos shop. Is it a Texas brand? Lucky
often carries different brands and who knows, maybe Safeway has it now
that it has merged with Albertson's. They're still shaking their
stores out. I know the shelves are different every time I go in
lately. For instance, they had lots of Just Mayo only last week, but
there was none a couple of days ago (not even a shelf tag).

That was John, but I tend to do the same thing... buy a premade chili
powder or curry that's as close as possible to what I want and doctor
it up.

Have you looked in the Mexican section of your grocery store? We can
buy powdered New Mexican chili in blister packs out here on the West
Coast.

I've wondered what Cincinnati chili was. At this point I don't think
I'd ever make it myself, but I'd be willing to give it a try it if
someone else made it.

I'd add to further cross cultural contamination, I just came across a
Cincinnati recipe that used the Indian spice mix, Garam Masala, but I've
not tried that (yet).

Bolner's Fiesta spices are in most of the stores, here in Texas. Not
sure who the owners are, but they make a lot of Mexican spices. They
make Fiesta Light Chili Powder and Fiesta Extra Fancy and I have used
both of them.

Thanks! What's the difference between them? What makes one Light and
the other one Extra Fancy? Grandma's used to have a "Zesty" version,
which was self-explanatory.

You could mix up a batch quite easily. The usual suspects would be
ground chilies, cumin, oregano, dehydrated garlic, and salt.

As it goes, it's difficult to find ground chilies so I'd use Korean
chili pepper powder instead. Additionally, you could add some cocoa for
color and an earthy taste, MSG, cinnamon, cloves, a little Coleman's
mustard, and anything else your heart desires. I'd add a good amount of
red pepper flakes if you like some heat.

Fiesta is a Texas brand. San Antonio, I believe. If I'm wrong Steve

They say "light" chili powder is earthy and slightly sweet, it is not
very hot.

I was going to recommend Pendery's, in the Ft. Worth area; they have an
amazing selection of chilies, chili powder, BBQ rubs, and so on.
However, I can't seem to get to their website. It's been a year or two
since I ordered from them, so I suppose they might not be around any
more. If so, that's a shame.

I looked up what they have in theirs. Looks the same as what I've been

Depending on what brand I buy, I sometimes add stuff. My last batch of
chili was perfect so I didn't have to add anything.

Whenever I make chili, it turns out to be Texas Goulash. Sweet Paprika, Hot
Paprika, cumin, hot sauce, water, garlic, onions, cilantro, oregano, ground
meat, sometimes beef, sometimes pork sometimes both, and of course beans.
Lots of beans. Red Kidney Beans. I made turkey chili once. Didn't like
the texture.

I like dark red kidney beans in mine. Ground beef or no meat. I don't do
turkey. Bleh.

Uh oh. They're the only place that sells it here. I hope they don't quit
selling it! Albertsons keeps changing too. It's getting annoying.

Holy cow! That's cheap. I just paid about $3.50 for less than 3 oz.

Weird. I do sometimes add cocoa powder to my chili. Adds richness.

It's because of the merger. I don't know how long it takes to settle
down after these things happen, but at least what I've seen so far has
been more good than bad even if I was disappointed by them taking Just
Mayo off the shelf. They made a mistake in the size. It was a huge
jar and well over $5. It seemed as if they wanted an excuse not to
sell it.
