Homemade Chili Powder

Sun, 17 Mar 2002 12:26:00 -0500

This homemade chili powder is much fresher than what you get in the store (unless you live in New Mexico or Mexico). At my house, this chili powder would only make enough to put in one batch of chili! -- posted by wildheart

Chipotle Puree

Wed, 03 Apr 2002 11:44:55 -0500

Chipotles are jalapeno chiles that have been slowly dried over smoke. This puree gives an authentic mexican flavour to many dishes. Use the substitute if you can as it's just as good. From the Fresh Mex cookbook. -- posted by dale!

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 07:04:34 -0400

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tweaked it here and there over the years. My family likes this version because it is not sloppy wet like so many others out there. However, this recipe can be served wet too. -- posted by Melodee

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:51:33 -0500

A really nice tex-mex style rub by Jamie Purviance that's great on steaks. This makes enough for four good sized steaks, but I quadruple it and store it in a air-tight jar so that it's always handy. -- posted by Whipper

A Midwesterner's Chili Powder

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 13:42:13 -0400

It's the middle of winter, it's cold, and what works better to warm the stomach than a nice cup of chili? While this may be a refined version of the first spice mixes I conjured up it's too good to keep to myself. Don't just limit it to chili stew mind you, it's good any time you want some added zing in a family meal that you just can't get from store-bought "chili powder". -- posted by GenYChef

Taco Seasoning Packet for the Frugal Home-Maker

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 17:14:09 -0400

The original recipe came from an old "Make-A-Mix" cookbook years ago. I've customized to fit our tastebuds and pocketbook. My thought is: why buy those expensive, chemically flavored little packets when you have all the ingredients on the spice shelf in Mrs. Hubbard's Cupboard? -- posted by Debber

¼ cup seasoning and ¾ cup of water per pound of meat.

V's Southwestern Dip

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:47:03 -0400

Combined a few of my favorite spices and added it to a sourcream and mayonaise base and Viola, a spicy southwestern dip was born. Served with several different kinds of chips and vegies or topping for burritos or anything you add sour cream to.... this will be a repeat! -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)
