GEBHARDTS CHILI POWDER (COPYCAT)



Gebhardts Chili Powder (Copycat) image

This is a copycat version of the famous Gebhardts Chili Powder. Your chili powder may taste a little bit different than Gebhardts (if you have bought it and know how it tastes) it depends on the potency of the ingrediates you buy. I have found around here that the Freds Dollar store spices are very potent. And better than the high namebrand stuff you pay 4x the money for. Hope you enjoy!!

FIRECRACKER CHILI POWDER



Firecracker Chili Powder image

This is a chili powder that I created myself. Regular chili powder was just not cutting it, and the chili powder packets tasted, well.... packety... As they say, necessity is the mother of invention.

CHILI POWDER



Chili Powder image

To me, chili powder need not be superhot, but you can change that if you like-just add cayenne or some spicy dried chiles (most of the common dried red ones you find are pretty fiery). But it is easy enough to add heat at any stage of cooking or even at the table, whereas the warm, welcoming flavor of good chili powder is hard to come by. When you're buying dried chiles, look for those that are not brittle; they should retain some moisture and even be a bit soft.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Spice     Chili     Chile Pepper     Cumin

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ancho or 8 dried New Mexico chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 dried hot chile, like chile de árbol, stemmed and seeded, or cayenne to taste
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons dried oregano, preferably from Mexico

Steps:

  • Combine the whole chiles and cumin seeds in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, just a few minutes; for the last minute of cooking, add the oregano.
  • Cool, then grind in a spice or coffee grinder to a fine powder; add cayenne at this stage if you're using it (some cooks also put in a bit of garlic powder). Store in a tightly covered opaque container for up to several months.

CHILI POWDER



Chili Powder image

An adopted recipe originally posted by Mean Chef. I have not tried this one yet as I have not yet found arbol chiles.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 25m

Yield 1-1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces dried ancho chiles
4 ounces dried New Mexico chiles
1 ounce dried arbol chile
6 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
6 tablespoons garlic powder
4 tablespoons Mexican oregano, ground
4 tablespoons hot Hungarian paprika

Steps:

  • The chiles should be toasted before grinding (one minute on a hot cast iron skillet or comal).
  • When the chiles are cool, break them into pieces and grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder or coffee mill.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Store in a jar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili powder: Not all chili powders are created equal. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% pure chili peppers, and avoid blends that contain fillers like salt, sugar, or MSG.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your chili will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and avoid canned or frozen ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make chili, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. Add some chopped chocolate or coffee to your chili for a unique twist, or experiment with different types of beans or vegetables.
  • Let your chili simmer: The longer your chili simmers, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer your chili for at least an hour, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is the perfect comfort food, and it's even better when it's topped with your favorite toppings. Try serving your chili with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or crumbled cornbread.

Conclusion:

Chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it's also a hearty and filling meal. With so many different ways to make chili, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
