Tuesday’s Cupful: Background on Six Gun Chili Mixin’

It’s all in the recipe since 1854

Yes, people have counted on this little bag and legendary brand of seasonings to make a rich and traditional bowl of Southwest Chili without too much fuss.  Ol’ Hired Hand Six Gun Chili Mixin’s has been produced by Smokewood Foods since 1978.  You must add the ground beef, ground pork, or ground turkey depending on your tastes.  The company recommends using lentils instead of meat if you have craving for a vegetarian rendition.  A (4 oz.) yellow and orange bag of chili seasonings runs for $ 3.00 and up.  Also look for a red and white bag that makes Chipotle Chili.  This food item was honored by the U.S. Senate as “America’s Dish.”
