• Open chili spice package. You will find 4 packets of different spices.
• Add larger package of chili spices first and stir.
• Add salt packet to taste (I usually end up adding all of this one); stir.
• Add small cayenne pepper packet to taste (optional). Will be extremely hot & spicy if all is added. I usually add 1/4 to 1/2 of packet).

• Continue to simmer and stir. It's ready to eat when heated all the through. The longer it simmers the spicier it will get. My mom used to let it simmer for an hour or more when I was younger. If you decide to simmer longer than 20 minutes, after last ingredient is added, turn the heat down to low.
