Our favorite chili is thick, with meat, beans and the perfect combination of spices. This recipe uses tomatoes, a variety of peppers and beans, and is spiced with our Chili Powder Blend, Cumin Seed Powder, Oregano, Smoked Paprika and a touch of Cayenne - a delicious combination with just the right amount of heat! It is so good, it doesn't even need any toppings (and it is also great as leftovers). Enjoy a bowlful of spicy goodness, and one of our favorite dishes!
