🔥 Angela’s Homemade Chili Seasoning 
Bold, Rich & Perfectly Balanced 🌶️ This special blend is my wife Angela’s go-to for making deep, hearty, and slightly spicy chili. It’s perfectly balanced--bold and flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Whether you’re making a classic chili or using leftover smoked brisket or tri-tip, this seasoning elevates every bite with layers of rich, smoky, and savory flavors.

🌿 Ingredients:
✔ 3 Tbsp chili powder 🌶️ – The rich, earthy base of the seasoning.
✔ 2½ tsp granulated garlic 🧄 – Boosts the savory depth.
✔ 2½ tsp granulated onion 🧅 – Enhances the overall richness.
✔ 2½ tsp ground coriander 🌿 – Adds a hint of citrusy warmth.
✔ 2 tsp cumin 🌾 – Brings a warm, smoky undertone.
✔ 2 tsp hot paprika 🔥 – Adds a mild, smoky heat.
✔ 2 tsp kosher salt 🧂 – Balances and enhances all the flavors.
✔ 2 tsp black pepper – Gives a mellow, peppery bite.
✔ 1 tsp cayenne 🌶️ – Just the right amount of heat without overpowering.

🔥 Why This Seasoning Works So Well
✔ Chili Powder & Cumin – The foundation for a deep, rich, and bold chili flavor.
✔ Paprika & Cayenne – Adds heat & smokiness without overwhelming the dish.
✔ Garlic & Onion Powder – Builds a savory backbone that enhances the other spices.
✔ Coriander & Oregano (optional) – A touch of earthiness & balance.
✔ Secret Ingredients (Optional) – Sometimes Angela adds a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder 🍫 for unexpected depth.

🔥 How to Use This Chili Seasoning
