Is there a difference in brands of chili powder? What's your favorite?
TIA

Yes, there is a difference. I don't have a favorite. Great cooks who use chili powder have said to purchase three of four different brands and use a little of each brand (mix them) when preparing a dish that requires chili powder.

I like the McCormick ""Hot Mexican.""

Penzey's Chili 9000!
DH doesn't like heat, so I use that and add Penzey's Berebere to my bowl.
I also use it for Chicken Noodle Soup.

McCormick's Hot Mexican Chili Powder contains cumin but I add yet more cumin to my chili.

I order Hatch chile powder, & hot pepper flakes, from a company in Hatch, NM.

I agree with Poodlepet. I always use cumin if I'm using chili powder. It gives it a little something extra without a bite.
I recently discovered organic chili powder at my supermarket and I'm hooked. Spices have gotten so pricey that I just happened to check out the organic isle one day. It was right after I read an article about the lack of quality control on spices imported. I do cook with a lot of herbs and spices so it's been a challenge to keep these in the pantry. Prices vary but it's another place to look.

There was one called 'Grandma's Spanish Seasoning' that I bought for many years. I think they stopped making it (but I still have some).
I would go with Penzey's. I use the Penzey's taco seasoning mix in place of chili powder also, and it's good.
