Also your 3 bean chili recipe has 2T of chili powder and 1T of cumin, which seems like a more reasonable ratio. I think you definitely need to check the numbers on this chili seasoning. Thanks!
It’s a recipe for chili… but 3x as much cumin as chili powder, and chili powder is “optional” and can be replaced with paprika? could these be typos?
