Red & Green Chili Set

Made for the chili cook-off champion, or the person who has a chili recipe they defend and a pot they've made it in for 20 years. A good fit for tailgates, game day, a housewarming, or a holiday gift for whoever enters the chili cook-off every year. Three full-size jars arrive in a Savory Spice gift box, ready to give as-is.

Start with 2-4 tablespoons of Mild Chili Powder per quart of chili, then let the pot simmer for a few hours so the flavor has time to settle in. Do the same with Hatch Green Chile Powder, or add to taste for depth and heat. It's great in stews, enchiladas, or a classic pork green chile. Ground Cumin Seeds rounds the pot out, and it's worth keeping close for tacos, fajitas, rice, and any curry that crosses your kitchen.

Because all three are salt-free, you control the salt level too. Taste as you go and stir in whatever else you'd reach for, whether that's a favorite hot sauce, extra garlic, or another spice from your own shelf. For the full recipe, follow our Award-Winning Chili Recipe.

Ask someone in New Mexico, Colorado, or the Midwest whether they want red or green and you'll get a real answer. This chili gift set means you don't have to choose. Mild Chili Powder handles the red, Hatch Green Chile Powder handles the green, and Ground Cumin powder runs through both. All three blends are salt-free, so whoever's cooking builds the seasoning from scratch instead of working around someone else's salt.
