Homemade Chili Mix Recipe

Since its chili making season, I figured I would post my chili mix recipe. Making your own fresh mix is the best way to elevate your chili game. It really makes a significant difference in the taste.
I buy my dried peppers at the grocery store, usually the Fiesta near me as they have a huge selection of dried peppers. I use an old coffee grinder to grind the peppers and then mix as follows:
8 tbl Ancho
11 tbl Cascabel
4 tbl Arbol
4 tbl Chipotle
2 tbl Pasilla
2 tbl New Mexico
2 tbl granulated garlic
3 tbl fresh oregano chopped
2 tbl cumin
2 tbl smoked paprika
This make about 1 1/2 cups by volume of chili mix which is way more than I use in a typical 12 serving batch. I can't say exactly how much I put in my chili but I do put a few tablespoons in at the start and again midway through cooking. About 10 minutes before flame out I taste and add whatever amount more I feel like the batch needs and salt to taste. I put the leftover powder in the freezer and will use it in another chili if I make one within a month of the grind. Otherwise, I will grind a new batch as peppers lose a lot of flavor really quick....which is why store bought mixes are so-so.

Added to recipe thread above.
Do you remember how many of each pepper you start with to get these amounts of ground?

No, the peppers always vary in size and several of them come in sealed bags of 15 or so, so I buy a bag of each and I always have leftovers. I'll try to remember to count how many when I grind my next mix.
