Chili powder (also called chili mix) is a spice mix consisting of various ratios of dried ground chile peppers (Cayenne Pepper), cumin, garlic, oregano, and Paprika.

There is some disagreement about the origin of manufactured chili powder. The two men generally credited with marketing the first commercial chili powder blends were William Gebhardt and D.C. Pendry. Pendry ran a Mexican grocery supply company in Ft. Worth, Texas. He began manufacturing and marketing his blend of chili powder in about 1890, encouraging its use by people who were unfamiliar with it by supplying recipes to restaurants in the area. William Gebhardt was a German immigrant to New Braunfels, Texas. He served chili in his caf\u00E9, flavored with his own blend of chili powder. He starting selling the blend in about 1894 under the brand name Gebhardt's Eagle Brand Chili Powder.

Other ingredients may include black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, mace, nutmeg, and turmeric. Such blends are widely used in American cuisine as the primary flavor ingredient in chili con carne. The first commercial blends of chili powder in the U.S. were created in the 1890s by D.C.
