How to Make Super Simple Chili Spice Mix With Chili Recipe Instructions
- **Prepare the Spice Mix:** Layer the following spices into 6-8 small mason jars (see ingredient list for amounts). No need to mix; simply label each jar.
- **Brown the Meat:** Brown 1 pound of ground beef or pork in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- **Sauté the Vegetables:** Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 6 medium mushrooms (sliced) to the pot. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until softened.
- **Add the Remaining Ingredients:** Stir in one 15-ounce can of tomato sauce, one 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes, and the contents of one spice jar.
- **Choose Your Beans:** Add two 15-ounce cans of your favorite beans (e.g., black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans) OR one 15-ounce can of beans and 2 cups of corn (fresh or frozen).
- **Simmer:** Bring the chili to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour. For deeper flavor, simmer longer or use a slow cooker (see step 14).
- **Slow Cooker Option:** For slow cooking, transfer all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- **Serve:** Ladle the chili into bowls. Top with shredded cheese, if desired, and serve with cornbread or baked potatoes for a complete meal. Enjoy!
- **Make Ahead & Freeze:** This chili freezes beautifully! Store leftovers in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.
