Simmer 2-4 tablespoons per quart of chili for a few hours and the chiles bloom into the broth, turning it dark and rich instead of thin and one-note the way a lot most grocery store chili packets do. This is the seasoning that makes people ask what you did differently. For more, go Behind the Seasoning: Chili Powder.

PRODUCT DETAILS

How to Use

Simmer 2-4 tablespoons per quart of chili for a few hours, letting the heat and the chile flavor both develop as it cooks.

It also works as the base for a homemade BBQ dry rub, or seasoning for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and baked beans. To push the heat even further, stir 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of Cayenne Chile Powder into 1/4 cup of this blend.

Prefer big chili flavor, but can't stand the heat? Our Mild Chili Powder uses the same base with a much lighter hand on the chiles.

About this Spice

Chili powder isn't just one spice, it's a blueprint for a finished dish, and these five ingredients are here because chili actually needs all of them. Dried chiles carry the heat and the base flavor. Cumin brings the earthy, slightly smoky backbone that chili just doesn't taste like chili without. Garlic and Mexican oregano round out the savory side, and California paprika adds body and color without adding more heat than the chiles already provide. Leave one out and the pot tastes unfinished in a way that's hard to name but easy to notice.

This is our most popular chili powder, and the reason is the heat level: present and real, but not so aggressive that it fights with everything else going into the pot.

Medium Chili Powder FAQ

Does chili powder have salt in it?

Most chili powder blends do contain salt, but both our Medium and Mild-heat blend of chili powder are completely salt-free.

How spicy is medium chili powder?

It sits around a 3 to 4 out of 10 in overall heat, noticeably spicier than our Mild version, which uses the same base ingredients in a different ratio.

Does chili powder contain garlic?

Yes, garlic is part of the blend alongside cumin, paprika, and Mexican oregano.

Why does chili powder need cumin?

Cumin is what makes chili taste like chili rather than just spicy tomato and meat. It brings an earthy, slightly smoky depth that dried chiles alone don't provide, and it's one of the few ingredients in this blend that most people would notice immediately if it were missing.

Can I use this chili powder for something other than chili?

Yes. It works as the base for a homemade BBQ dry rub, or as a seasoning for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and baked beans, anywhere you'd want real chile depth with a moderate kick.
