McCormick Gourmet Kosher Ancho Chile Pepper, 1.62 oz Bottle

Was skeptical of amount when making a medium batch of chili because I wasn't sure how an ancho chili spice would work. Second time I made chili I put in two teaspoons and found the spice enlivened and enhanced it with a very nice flavor and compliment.

The McCormick Gourmet Organic Ancho Chile Pepper seasoning is awesome. It has just the right amount of heat to my dish. It's finely ground and brings some spice to the dish that I need it for. It isn't too overpowering that it makes you cough or sneeze when you open it.

Ancho is one of my favorite chiles. This was a good example. I used it for homemade enchilada sauce as well as taco filling. The flavors were bright and clean with just a touch of heat. The color of the powder was lighter and brighter than some that I have purchased online.

I received this product in exchange for trying it and providing my review. After trying this spice, I can say this is an excellent chile powder, fantastic smokey and a little sweet flavor. The quality at this price point is a terrific value. I've used it for sauces and braises, and part of a rim for a margarita that was fantastic. It deepens both the flavor and color of dishes that it is added to. The updated packaging is visually appealing as well as functional. It doesn't cake or get clumpy which I appreciate. I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys cooking (and eating!)

I like the smoky flavor that the McCormick Ancho Chile Pepper seasoning adds in place of my usual chile powder. Personally, I would prefer a bit more "hotness" but that can easily be adjusted to taste with an addition of cayenne or hot sauce depending on the recipe. I also appreciate the glass jar, with a wide neck and secure metal lid... plus the shaker lid inside is easy to remove for dispensing with a measuring spoon.

Dried Poblano Pepper Powder, would taste even better if it was roasted before it was ground. I live in the Chile Capitol of the world State of NM, Home of Green and Red Chile, so we know what to do with whole red dried Chile pods. Otherwise, it's decent tasting and much less heat than Chipotle Chile Powder. Has a Mild/Medium kick. Has a flip top shaker cap.

Thanks to McCormick, I was able to sample the new McCormick Gourmet Organic Ancho Chile Pepper for free and amp up the flavor of my meals! The glass jar is gorgeous to look at, and very sturdy. The bottle sprinkles out just the right amount, not too fast and without clumping. The spice is aromatic, lending a mildly sweet heat and beautiful reddish brown color to my dishes. Because of the quality of the spice, I found that I was able to use 25-50% less than other brands, as the flavor was bolder and fresher, also making it more economical.

This is very flavorful. I used it to make some turkey chorizo and it was yummy! I tried a bit plain before cooking and I love the flavor. I can see if being useful in many Mexico and other dishes for a boost of chile pepper flavor. I like that it's in a glass jar, and has a seal so you can tell that it hasn't been opened yet when you purchase or receive it.

We really loved using the McCormick Ancho Chili Pepper spice in a variety of recipes. I substituted this for chipotle powder and homemade taco seasoning and it added a nice kick. We also have been loving using this as part of a rub when we BBQ or smoke meats, it was awesome on both chicken and skewered blackened shrimp. Would definitely purchase and use more in the future!

This is the perfect seasoning when you want a lot of flavor without doing too much work. It is sweet, spicy, and smoky all in one. I put this and salt on chicken breast and it came out delicious. I love the glass packaging, with easy view of the product. it looks sharp, feels high quality, and the twist lid is much better than a flimsy plastic flip top lid.
