Ingredients

1 quart (32 ounce) jar with lid
Printable label/gift tag
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 teaspoons garlic powder
¼ cup chili powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup dried kidney beans
1 cup dried pinto beans
1 cup dried black beans
2 tablespoons dried cumin

To make the chili, you will also need:

2 pounds ground beef or ground turkey browned and drained
1 onion diced
3 quarts water or beef stock
2 28 ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 8 ounce can tomato paste
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the onion flakes and garlic powder and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, combine the chili powder and cayenne (if desired).
In a third small bowl, combine the parsley and oregano.
Then, layer the ingredients in this order, taking care to firmly press ingredients down between layers: 1. Kidney beans 2.Onion flake and garlic powder mixture 3. Pinto beans 4.Black beans 5. Chili powder and cayenne mixture 6. Parsley and oregano mixture 7. Cumin
IMPORTANT NOTE: There will likely be some space open between the cumin and the top of the jar that will not be visible because of the lid. If this is the case, you can simply add a few more tablespoons of beans or a scrunched up paper towel or napkin to reach the very top of the jar. This will keep all of the ingredients tightly packed in the jar and prevent shifting of the ingredients.
Seal the jar with the lid. Print and attach the recipe instruction gift tag.

IMPORTANT: The beans and spices will settle as they are added. The jar should be filled to the top. If you find that there is space at the top, add in some extra beans.
