Best Chili Mixes of 2025

“I make veggie chili for my family of five about once a month and often scale it up for friends on busy holidays. Even when I follow top food blogs, their spice mixes fall short. This pre-mixed pack delivers the flavors and thickeners that elevate my chili instantly. I love that it includes two levels of spice to cater to my family’s heat tolerance, or I can save the packets for later. Add a bottle of beer, and I have the best chili recipe!”

“When my wife mentioned we were having vegetarian chili, I was initially disappointed. However, I was completely wrong! This chili was phenomenal. She even prepared some ground beef on the side in case I wanted it, but honestly, the meatless version was delicious on its own. A++!”

“I’ve been using this chili mix for a long time. It has great flavor and is incredibly easy to adjust the heat level to my liking.”

"I've been using this for years and it makes the best tasting chili! I love having the option to adjust the spice level since the cayenne pepper is separate."

"I was thrilled to find this chili mix on Amazon after all the local stores stopped carrying it. It's the same fantastic product I used to buy!"

"I decided to try this chili mix with moose meat after hearing good things. It was indeed very good, but I found it much cheaper elsewhere after buying. Be sure to shop around!"

"I just can’t go wrong with McCormick Chili Seasoning mix. The taste is fantastic, and the 22 oz. size will last us a while, making it a great value. I highly recommend it!"

"After searching for the original flavor, I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. It’s perfect for sauces and chili beans, and the flavor is amazing!"

"My wife makes the best chili, and she swears by McCormick Chili Spice. The large container not only saves us money but is also super convenient. Before, we always had to dash to the store for packets when we ran out."

"I love this seasoning for making great chili. Whether I use beef or ground chicken, this seasoning works perfectly. It's spicy and flavorful without being overwhelming. I appreciate the small packages of individual spices, allowing me to control the amount I add. Plus, the included masa is great for achieving a thicker broth."

"For years, this has been my go-to chili kit. It's simple to prepare and tastes fantastic. I can adjust the heat to my liking, which is a bonus. Sometimes I can't find it in local stores, so I make sure to order several boxes from Amazon at once."

"Wick Fowler's Two Alarm Chili is truly the best on the market. All I do is brown the meat, mix in an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce and some water. The spices come neatly packed separately, making it foolproof and delicious. My brother, a NY State Chili Champion, introduced me to this, and I've been hooked ever since."

"I know some may think my review is from a 'Chili-Making-Simpleton', but this simple packet hits the sweet spot for my beloved chili recipe. Everyone loves it! I just add a sprinkle of red pepper for those who like it spicy."

"I’m thrilled to have found my favorite chili seasoning here on Amazon! It makes awesome chili, and I couldn't find it in stores."

"This product is hard to find in stores, but it’s a favorite in my house for those chilly evenings when we want comfort food. Thankful for the good price and easy delivery!"

"I found this product incredibly easy to use, and following the instructions led to some delicious chili. Just a heads up, if you plan to store it in the fridge, it might end up a little dry after cooling, but it was still perfect on chili cheese dogs!"

"Hunts high quality never disappoints me. The flavor is fantastic for both sauces and soups, and I really appreciate that it's often cheaper through Amazon than at local stores."

"I made my chili mac with this product, and it turned out super easy and delicious, especially using the Instant Pot!"

“This seasoning is just what I needed! It tastes amazing and I've used it in chili, scrambled eggs, and ham salad. I'm even thinking about trying it in my chocolate pudding. Definitely worth a try!”

“I made chili recently, and my kids noticed a difference. It had a hearty, deep taste that I loved. Next time, I plan to use steak or stew meat instead of ground beef, as I think it will complement the seasoning even better.”

“I haven't tried the spice yet, but it arrived on time. The magnetic containers are fantastic; they save a lot of space in my cabinet. Thanks for that!”

“I find this seasoning to be a fantastic addition to my chili. The spices are all pre-measured, making it super easy to just add and stir. I must say, the mild version still packs a kick!”

“I've been using these packets for years and recently noticed that my local store has hiked their prices. I discovered these on Amazon, and I believe it's definitely worth buying them here!”

“This chili seasoning is incredibly easy to use and results in a fast and tasty meal. I'm impressed with how it turns out every time!”

"I first bought this on vacation and liked it so much that I ordered it from Amazon. It’s truly the best chili I've made!"

"I paid $30 for these and had to spend an extra $13 for USPS delivery since Amazon couldn't bring it to my house. The taste is a bit bland, but my husband enjoys it once I season it myself."

“Living overseas, I find it next to impossible to locate prepared chili seasoning. This product is great tasting and reasonably priced with free shipping. It flavors my chili just right, along with a few secret ingredients. Yum!”

“I was devastated when my local stores stopped carrying Lawry's Chili seasoning. Thankfully, I can order it here and have it ready for a quick meal when needed. It's truly the best chili seasoning I’ve ever had.”
