    I was making tacos for my family tonight and I was out of storebought chili powder. I used a few alternate smoked chiles but pretty much used this recipe. It was AWESOME! My picky-eater oldest son loved it and went back for thirds. Since this was so easy, I'll be making this fresh from now on everytime I have a need for chili powder. Thanks again Alton!

    I have made 5 different chili recipes including the pressure cooker recipe from same episode with this chili powder and won every time. Everyone asks what is your secret to winning with all different recipes--answer, make your own chili powder and use this recipe!

    I mixed up the chilis a bit and used Pasilla, Guajillo, Cascabel, and Ancho with a few extra spices thrown in for fun. Thanks for the idea. This will be a great Christmas present!

    I actually made this with fresh chilis-cooked them about 12 minutes in saute pan with the cumin (did see the episode, just read the recipie BUT i put it all in my dehydrator over night then ground. It's even better than using the dried store bought, Also used my own smoked paprika. Get lots of requests from friends for it

    This is the best chili powder EVER! Have used it many times since seeing the show. It never fails to get rave reviews.

    I LOVE this recipe! The only problem I had was getting the toasted cumin seeds to grind to a powder. I had to break out the old mortar and pestle to ensure a life free from diverticulitis. I've always used ground venison in my chili and this powder really brings the flavor. Not too hot and not too mild...perfect! Try adding wet chorizo to your chili for an authentic flavor and you can never go wrong adding a bottle of your favorite dark lager.

    I made the recipe as it called for, but does anyone know how much of the powder I use for a 6 quart chili?

    David -- guajillos and cascabels are most certainly not the same chile, though guajillos are sometimes mislabeled as cascabels. I have grown both of these chiles, and the cascabels are smallish and round (similar to Italian cherry pepper while the guajillos are longer and tapered (similar to New Mexican or Anaheim chiles. Further, both will have decidedly different flavor profiles and heat levels. Regardless, this still does not answer the question of why Mr. Brown references one type of chile and uses another.
