I also tasted cumin, salt, and chili powder. The meat was browned and the main spice package, salt, and cayenne were added. We used about half of the masa (corn flour) to change the chili texture from soupy to thick and hearty. The corn flour is to be used as a thickener and will add a flavor component. This is not an excessive amount but if you are watching your salt intake it is nice to have that option. The salt package is approximately two teaspoons. Goofy puts on her corn flake in the morning. The amount of cayenne is barely ¼ teaspoon. The mix does give options of salt, corn flour and cayenne pepper each wrapped in separate pouches. We wanted to experience this chili the way it was meant to taste so we will comply with all directions. I am the first to admit that following instructions can be a challenge.

The cost of this mix was unbelievably cheap $2.99. Thirty five minutes will be the fastest chili I have ever made.Other ingredients that are needed were water, tomato sauce and two pounds of meat. The chili making process seemed very simple and fast. This raised a flag because I believe all chili spices should be as fresh as possible.How old was this box? The kit also claimed it was ‘All Natural’ and gluten free. The expiration date on this box was dated January 22, 2015.

I took a glance at the box labeling and instructions. It was kind of embarrassing and I probably will have to burn my “Man Card” but I had to ask a clerk for directions. The packaging of this chili kit blended in with the multitude of other chili mixes on the shelf. A trip to our local Wally-Mart found our chili kit.
