Personal Notes:
I wanted a chili recipe that I could make that tasted consistent and was not dependent upon a store chili seasoning packet. I always felt I had to doctor chili to get it to taste right and could never get chili to taste the same twice in a row. This is my attempt at a consistent chili without a seasoning packet. In theory, you could combine the seasonings and create your own seasoning packet, store it in a cool dry place, and measure it out accordingly as needed.

I tried a small amount of smoked Paprika, and it changed the flavor of the chili too much. Stick with a good non smoked paprika. I get mine in bulk at the organic section of the store.

The freshness and quality of the spices definitely affect the flavor, adjust as necessary.
