Lawry's Chili Seasoning Mix 1.48 oz Pack of 12 - Ready-to-Use Blend with Cumin & Paprika for Quick Hearty Chili

Lawry's Chili Spices & Seasonings Mix is a ready-to-use blend of chili peppers, cumin, oregano and paprika that makes hearty, flavorful chili in minutes.

Whether you’re feeding a busy weeknight family or spicing up game-day snacks, this 1.48 oz packet from Lawry's gives you a consistent, bold chili base without the guesswork. The mix combines classic Mexican and Southwestern aromatics to produce a savory, slightly smoky profile that works with beef, turkey, chicken or beans. Each pack in this 12-count bundle is portioned for one pound of ground meat, making meal prep predictable and fast.

How do I use this seasoning to make chili quickly?

Start by browning one pound of ground meat and draining excess fat. Stir in the entire seasoning packet with water, tomatoes and your choice of beans, then simmer until flavors meld—usually 15–25 minutes. The packet is calibrated to give balanced seasoning for a single pound of meat.

• Use one 1.48 oz packet per 1 lb ground meat
• Add canned tomatoes and kidney beans for a classic chili texture
• Simmer 15–25 minutes for best flavor integration
• Adjust thickness with more or less water as desired

Can I adapt this mix for other proteins or dishes?

Yes — the seasoning works well with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for lighter options. It also makes a robust topper: spoon it over nachos, fries, baked potatoes, or use it to flavor soups and casseroles. The blend’s cumin, paprika and oregano remain balanced across preparations.

• Swap beef for turkey or chicken with the same packet amount
• Use as a chili cheese sauce base for nachos or loaded fries
• Add to soups or rice for a quick flavor boost
• Mix into vegetarian beans or lentils for meat-free chili

What flavor profile should I expect from Lawry's chili mix?

The seasoning delivers a zesty, savory profile with warm smoky notes and herbal undertones. Chili pepper provides the heat foundation while cumin and paprika add earthiness and depth; oregano contributes a subtle herbal lift. It’s built to be bold enough for classic chili but flexible for customization.

• Chili peppers for warm heat
• Cumin and paprika for smoky, earthy depth
• Oregano for herbal brightness
• Works well with additional fresh chilies or hot sauce if you want more heat

How should I store and portion the 12-pack for best freshness?

Keep unopened packets in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer unused powder to an airtight container to preserve aroma and potency. The single-use sizing eliminates the need to measure, helping reduce waste and maintain consistent results over multiple meals.

• Store unopened in pantry or cupboard
• Use an airtight jar for leftover opened mix
• Each packet is pre-measured for one pound of meat
• 12-count pack is convenient for weekly meal rotation or gatherings
