Notes

You’ll notice in our recipe, we don’t add chili powder or cayenne pepper. That’s for our family’s dietary needs. You can certainly add those spices to your chili, if you’d like. Either reduce the amount of the other spices a little to make room for chili powder and cayenne pepper, OR simply add these seasonings on top of what is already included.
