I would normally use 1 packet of the regular packet to those ingredients. So, if I use 2 of the reduced sodium am I actually getting more sodium than 1 packet of the regular packet? Sounds good and quick!  |

Sounds good. When I make chili I cook my base (meat,tomatoes,onions,etc.) then I put my portion over rice & add the beans to my husband's portion. I hate beans. bleech lol

FWIW most "chili" powder has salt in it (read the labels, you might be surprised). However Fiesta makes chili powder that is salt-free. I buy it from stores that have bulk spices, etc. Our local Shur-Fine (Saubles) carries it.

I usually also have cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, etc., on hand, too, so my chili seasoning is not just reduced sodium, it's salt free.
PL, some chili "purists" insist that real chili does not have beans in it... Personally I like chili both ways, but I like vegetarian chili the least of the three.

I usually throw a stick of cinnamon in my chili, it adds a lovely 'earthy' warmth.

I have a gourmet friend (originally from TX) who claims real chili also has some chocolate in it...

I have a gourmet friend (originally from TX) who claims real chili also has some chocolate in it... Makes it like a mole sauce...hmmm.....mole sauce is good! I make my chili with stewing cuts of beef. I like the meatier taste and texture. Like you I use my own seasonings- cumin, oregano, hot peppers- though I will add some McCormick's chili powder, too-- just cut down on salt elsewhere. I also add a bit of Worchestire sauce, some cider vinegar, pinch of sugar.....lots of mixed bell peppers, onions, big can of tomatoes, crock pot all day long....I make pinto beans - for the side to stir in. |

Cinnamon with tomato sauce is a very common in Greek cuisine. Mmmmm
