Chili Mix in a Jar Recipe
with Printable Gift Tag



by Jane Lake

This chili seasoning mix makes a neat, inexpensive gift in a jar recipe, and you may already have all the ingredients. We've included a free printable tag to attach instructions for using your gift.

Chili is one of those rib-warming homemade meals that goes great with a salad and fresh bread. This mix is easy to assemble and suitable for gift-giving to almost anyone.

This particular recipe is a medium spiced chili seasoning that will make six meals. If you like mild chili, cut the chili powder down; if you like spicy, increase it or add crushed hot pepper flakes to taste.

Chili Jar Mix


Ingredients:

1¼ cups flour
½ cup dried onion (flakes or minced)
2/3 cup chili powder
3 tbsp beef bouillon powder or salt
1½ tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp pepper
2 tsp sugar

To Assemble this Gift in a Jar:

Mix all ingredients, stirring very well to combine. Pack in a 2 cup jar and attach gift tag which includes instructions.

To use the free printable gift tag, print it and cut it out, then fold in half and in half again, so that the picture is on the front and the recipe directions are inside. Fill in the name of the gift recipient and your own name. Punch a hole in the top left corner of the tag to tie it to the jar.

Recipe instructions are as follows:

Brown or microwave 1 pound of ground beef (Optional: you can chop and add an onion if you wish). Sprinkle 1/3 cup of chili seasoning mix over beef, and stir well. Add a 15 oz can of crushed tomatoes; a 15 oz can undrained kidney beans; a 14 oz can of baked beans. Simmer or reheat in the microwave for 20 minutes until flavors are mixed and chili is hot. Enjoy!

I was reading your recipe for Chili in a jar. The first ingredient listed is 1 1/4 cups flour, but I didn't read in the recipe directions where the flour is used.......I'm confused.

Would you please explain?

Thanks

A lot of gift in a jar recipes are layered, but this one is not, so you mix all of the ingredients together before filling the jar. When you come to use the chili mix, just follow the directions above.

Hi! I love this website! I have always been a thrifty person, but despite that this economic situation has pushed me to my limit financially- thank you so much for offering great alternatives to a financially burdening Christmas!

I love the jar recipes. The economy is not nice but at least my Christmas presents will be thanks to this site. I really appreciate it. My neighbors, daycare teachers and co-workers will all benefit. Thank you!

Thank you for the free recipes. The grocery store was selling a book for $5 with these recipes in them. It is going to be a tight Christmas this year and these gifts will be awesome.
