re: What Is your favorite chili mix?

Before I learned to cook it myself, I used the Tabasco in a jar, 2 Alarm, and Wick Fowler's. All were very good. The first time I made the chili from scratch, I used the recipe on the back of the Mexene Chili Powder jar, and it was excellent. That recipe is in the Cookbook.

ETA: As someone mentioned, Wick Fowler's IS the 2 Alarm Mix. I think the other one I used was Carroll Shelby's, although Wick Fowler did have a mix before the one called 2 Alarm.
