• For thinner chili, add more water or broth. For thicker chili, simmer to desired consistency.
• Individual servings of chili can be frozen for 6 month or more. Thaw in your refrigerator or microwave oven.
• Chopping mushrooms in a food processor creates a finer texture that absorbs the liquid for easily.
• Color and texture will vary depending on how chili powder type and amount, and length of time cooked.

About Chili Powder

You can make chili using fresh chilis like Serrano, Hatch, or Jalapeño, ground chilis, or chili powder.

Ground chilis, like cayenne and New Mexico, is made using one type of chili pepper. Prepared chili powder can be made from one or more types of chili peppers and has additional ingredients like salt, proprietary spices, garlic powder, and silicone dioxide to prevent caking.

Chili powder and ground red chilis give chili its deep red color.

Experiment and use fresh and dried chilis that suite your taste.
