Augason Farms Southwest Chili Mix - 3 lb 10 oz (1.65 kg) Packet

TriciaTricia: One of the five items in this order, the chili, was damaged but the other 4 containers were fine. The cover is broken and the can is so deformed that even if the cover was not broken, I would not be able to seal it to keep it fresh. I give this a 4 rating considering I have ordered many of these in the past with no issue.

cop: Perfect for the day of days. Long shelf life easy to make and tastes good. What else could you ask for when the zombies come.

Just JJ: Great "Chili Starter", but so bland a 4 year old wouldn't blink at it. It needs a lot more tomatoes, onions, peppers, seasoning, real or faux meat/chicken etc. badly. It says tomatoes, peppers, onions and spices are in it, but barely, I couldn't see or taste them. Did I mention how bland this stuff is?

Does not tell you on the can, but way at the bottom there is a big silver Mylar pouch with the seasoning mix & thickener in it. I emptied the beans into a ziplock to keep inside the can and the Mylar pouch went into a large airtight canister for use with them over the next 6 months or so. Maybe opening the can from the bottom would work better. Makes 34 ONE CUP servings, so I would say really only 15- 20 adult meals. If you have teenage boys, all bets are off. Cheap compared to a restaurant, or canned, but for homemade, 100% from scratch you can do better if you buy dry beans and own a pressure cooker. Since you need to cook this stuff for 12-15 minutes IT IS NOT INSTANT FOOD. Not just add water, it has to be cooked. It is vegetarian so it has soy in it if that is a concern for anyone. I will stretch it out with my own cooked beans, tomatoes, rice, macaroni, whatever. I...

Precise Disarray: I have pretty much all good experiences with Augason Farms products. I really like this chili mix, and I would buy it and use it for any time not just for emergency use. It has a pretty good flavor on its own. Good base flavor, and is doable as is. I can't help myself, so I doctor it up a bit. I will add more of my own seasonings, sometimes add TVP or real beef, or add in extra vegetables. Serve over rice, noodles, or have a side of bread with it. But as is, with nothing else under or over it.. I would have no problem with it either.

At this point I buy food on sale, and look for ways to stretch what I have to work with. When I can find sales on Augason Farms products, I usually buy a can or two. Some I use right away, some I tuck away. I find that the current global situation calls for using some of it now. Chili is nice way to fill the belly and is so easy to modify per person preference. I can make a little or a lot. I find that I spend less using this over buying all the ingredients to make a pot fresh. Or this can be used to stretch what I make. All the considerations, and this product this brand has a role in it.

My can was in good shape. I occasionally get...
