Uses for Chili Powder
Chili powder is typically used to add flavor to chili, which is a thick soup made from beans, tomatoes, and beef. It is also good sprinkled over grilled cheese sandwiches, as a seasoning for Guacamole, and rubbed into meats as a dry marinade before grilling. You can experiment with other spices, including cinnamon, white pepper, and onion powder.
