McCormick CulinaryDark Chili Powder, 20 oz - One 20 Ounce Container or Dark Chili Powder, Enhances Nachos, Tacos, Enchiladas and Dark Chocolate

I bought this because I make a lot of chili. The taste is delicious! The size is perfect as it is the biggest size and best flavor for the price, you can’t beat it! This dark color chili powder is great quality. The large size container makes it easy to use!

My wife ordered this sight unseen because it was a quality brand at a good price.No commercial seasoning can be perfect for everyone. However, this particular mix was almost ideal for us. I rated it five stars because it suits my taste, but your preferences may vary.The color was perfect for us without the need for extra paprika. It had the right amount of spice for me and wasn't too hot for my wife. Although it was a bit saltier than what my diet prefers, it was acceptable for my wife and less salty compared to what I recall from the competition. I wouldn't change a thing and could still use it for a variety of dishes.

For years I've made big pots of chili in the slow cooker or on the stove and everyone has always loved it. However I was running low on chili powder and it was way to cold to walk up to the store so I came to Amazon and saw this, among so many other types of chili powders which I'll be adding to my spice cabinet. But, this time around I was focused on just having standard chili powder and the result was a drastic improvement of flavor. More robust and vibrant than the other stuff I had used for years.

Tired of the same old chili powder? Craving a deeper, smokier flavor to take your dishes to the next level? Then you need to try McCormick Culinary Dark Chili Powder! This unique blend isn't your average grocery store chili powder. It boasts a distinctive fruity taste with a hint of smokiness, adding a whole new dimension to your favorite recipes. From curries bursting with flavor to smoky red meat BBQ skewers, McCormick Culinary Dark Chili Powder has become a must-have in my spice cabinet! While the spice level wasn't overwhelming for us (more of a medium heat), it did offer a unique flavor profile.Here's what stood out:Fruity with a Hint of Smoke: This chili powder has a distinct fruity taste with a touch of smokiness, making it a great change from the usual red chili powder. It adds a new dimension to dishes without overpowering them.More Flavorful: This isn't your everyday chili powder. It has a richer, more complex flavor profile that elevates dishes like curries and red meat BBQ skewers.Shaker or Spoon Options: The container has a dual function lid with a shaker top for larger uses and spoon access for everyday cooking. I found the spoon most convenient for everyday use.A Few Things to Consider:Not a Universal Replacement: While we loved the dark chili powder for specific dishes, it's not a one-size-fits-all replacement for regular chili powder. We still use the red chili variety and paprika for everyday cooking.While this chili powder does contain some salt, it's not a substitute for a salt shaker. You may still need to adjust the salt level to your taste when cooking.Spice Level Preference: The spice level is moderate, but it might vary depending on your taste. My wife found it perfect, while I might have preferred a touch more heat.Overall, I really enjoyed the unique flavor profile of McCormick Culinary Dark Chili Powder. It's a great option for adding depth and smokiness to dishes, especially Asian-inspired cuisine and red meat BBQ skewers.

This dark chili powder is an excellent choice for any kitchen! The large container offers great value, providing a generous amount that will last through numerous recipes. The chili powder itself has a ton of flavor, featuring a deep, rich taste with a smoky yet slightly sweet undertone that elevates the dish. It's quickly become one of my go-to spices for adding depth to my recipes. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their creations!

The quality and color are great. Nice big size for the price and is a great spice for dishes.

Deep flavor. I use about 1/3 less in my chili recipe than the brand I have been buying at Costco, becasue it has so much flavor. Very good.
