McCormick Gourmet Kosher Ancho Chile Pepper, 1.62 oz Bottle

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.

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.

I received a sample of McCormick's Gourmet Organic Ancho Chile Pepper to sample and review. I used it first in a rub for a chile flank steak and it added a new balance to the dish. It added a subtle, smoky flavor with a mild level of spice. It helped to balance out the other spices and peppers in the rub to create a more balanced flavor whose level of heat was more palpable to those who don't like spicy food. Overall, it was a great, flavorful addition.

I love anything chile and this did not disappoint! I've used it for chile and tacos and it's definitely evident that it's a higher caliber spice. It has a richer flavor and is very aromatic. I'm excited to try some of the other flavors now too! 10/10!

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.

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.

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!

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!)

This chile powder has a good flavor - it's smoky and a little sweet. Low spice level. I used this for a chili recipe and it did give it the classic chili flavor. Usually I go for chile powders with stronger flavor or more spice, but I'm glad I tried this one.

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.
