Make our own Chili

I bought this thinking it was the McCormick brand that they used to have and totally ruined a huge pot of chili. It must be over 50% cumin as that is all you taste and very little chili pepper flavor at all. Like lots of other products Sams used to have, they are replacing good name-brand items with store-brand, which is no where near as good of quality or tasting.

Member's Mark is NOT Tone's nor McCormick. As a SamsClub Member since 1988, I rely on SamsClub to stock my pantry at a reasonable cost. Not any longer! Of all the Member's Mark substitutions, the Chili Powder is the worst! It's NOT Chili Powder. It's essentially taco seasoning, which has its place in the pantry, but is non-essential if its ingredients are already stocked. The cost of making chili has increased significantly, inconveniently having to purchase another brand from another store, at a higher price for smaller quantity. If I could give this 0-stars, I would, because the product is not what the label states.

Confused when my recipe didn't turn out the way I expected. Silly me, didn't think to check the ingredients of "plain chili powder". It has other spices in it that give it a very different flavor than real plain chili powder. Very disappointed that it's not called "chili powder spice mixture" or something. Just be aware that it's actually what you want before purchasing!

I have been using this seasoning in place of envelopes for years. 3 TBS. equal 1 envelope. 1 envelope for $1 or a full bottle for the same cost as 6 - 8 envelopes. if the powder does not have a strong chili taste simply add more powder.

It took me a while to go through my first bottle of Chili Powder but it was great and I didn't hesitate to replace it with another MM branded bottle. This is hideous. Ruined 3 dishes before I figured out what was causing the horrible, bitter flavor in my favorite recipe. Returned for refund.

For those who say too many other ingredients, that's what chili powder is, ~ a mixture of chili, spices, and other seasonigs. I use this to mix with pure ground chilis to make my own blend for homemade beef or pork chili. This has an excellent flavor, so I don't need to use as much cumin and mexican oregano. Love this!
