The perfect chili, well almost.

I have set out to try some different chili spices to come up with an excellent tasting chili. I will be using 5 different mixes or spices. The recipe will include 1-lb of ground beef, 1 can of chili beans, and 1 can of diced tomatoes. The kick off batch will be early in November, followed by the others. Taste results will be posted.

Carroll Shelbys Chili Kit 

McCormick Original Chili seasoning mix
Contains 310 mg of sodium and 2 g of dietary fiber.
I tried this mix and found no particular dominate taste. This can be eaten without Tabasco sauce. However I always end up adding Tabasco since I love that flavor. 

Bloemer's chili powder.
I mixed 3/4 packet with 1# of hamburger. This has a mild traditional chili taste. I found it very good and not too hot. 

Ancho Chili Powder is not commonly available in grocery stores. This had its own unique flavor in the chili. It adds a slightly sweet and hearty flavor to the chili. This was more filling than the other chili's I made.
