1 cup sweet green pepper flakes 
 (available in most supermarkets)
 3/4 cup chili powder
 1/4 cup ground cumin
 1/2 cup onion flakes
 1/4 cup parsley flakes
 1 teaspoon garlic flakes
 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
 Place all ingredients in a 1 quart jar, cover tightly and shake well to mix.
 Store in a cool, dark dry place for up to 2 months. Makes 2 3/4 cups
 1/2 cup mix = calories 124, total fat 5g, saturated fat 0, sodium 243 mg, 
 TO MAKE CHILI CON CARNE: In a medium size heavy saucepan over moderate heat,
 brown 1 pound very lean ground beef and drain off any fat. Add 1 can (1
 pound) low sodium tomatoes, drained and chopped, and 1 cup water or low
 sodium beef broth. Stir in 1/2 cup Chili Seasoning Mix. Reduce the heat and
 simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 cups
 cooked and drained red kidney beans and heat through serves 4
 Note: If using sweet chili powder rather than hot in mix, I add 1-2 Jalapeno
 peppers to chili. Ground Turkey also works well in place of Ground beef.
