very, very mild not just in spice, but flavor in general. i tripled both cumin and cayenne, less garlic powder and used hit paprika

I won a chili cook-off using this recipe, even made my own chili powder using the link in the recipe. Everyone devoured it. This really IS the best classic chili recipe.

I use chipotle powder instead of cayenne and smoked paprika. But I will try your version and see.

Love your site & enjoy your recipes! I'm wondering if you have a recipe similar to this using Chile powders ground & pure. I have Ancho, Guajillo's, and Arbol fresh ground & not sure of the ratio's needed for a good chili powder blend!..how much of each, and the additions! I will be making yours this afternoon..again! Thanks for all the great recipes!
