"While you may not want to trust every celebrity recipe you come across, it's a good bet you could trust Johnny Cash with chili. Raised on the Southern cooking of his home state, Arkansas, Cash retained that love of homestyle cooking his whole life. Even after the legendary musician became a household name, he liked to cook himself. In fact, his son, John Carter Cash, even compiled the family recipes in "The Cash and Carter Family Cookbook.""
"After all, why mess with a good thing? Chili powder is only one part of the chili equation, with much of the flavor coming from the meat and multiple types of fresh chiles - and McCormick's chili seasoning covers a lot of bases without the need to fuss over the measurements. Like many spice mixes, the exact recipe is a secret (it only lists chili pepper and cumin by name), but copycat recipes usually mix garlic and onion powder, paprika, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne with the chili pepper and cumin."
Johnny Cash grew up on Southern, homestyle Arkansas cooking and continued to cook for himself throughout his life. John Carter Cash compiled family recipes in The Cash and Carter Family Cookbook. Cash's chili recipe relied mostly on fresh ingredients such as chopped vegetables, steak, and multiple types of fresh chiles. Cash routinely used a McCormick premade chili seasoning packet as a convenient base, often preferring the McCormick Mild version. The premade mix lists only chili pepper and cumin by name, and Cash commonly added extra cumin, chili pepper, and preferred New Mexican chili powders when possible.
