Two is their Original Chili Blend which makes any type of Mexican food more Tex-Mexy. I use it with basic cream gravy to make enchilada sauce, make posole with it, and of course, chili.

I go through a big bottle of Franks Red Hot about every six months putting it on everything from scrambled eggs to pizza.

Pendery's FTW. And your pizza rocks.

I was the one who turned him on to that stuff. I brought it to his lake house on Grand Lake when I brought some flank steak to grill on his Big Green Egg that weekend.

As for the OP, I have countless amounts of seasoning and hot sauces here. My guess is that I have at least 40 different bottles of hot sauce, about 10 open at any given time, and 200+ seasonings including lots of bulk packages I keep in the freezer. We literally buy stuff like ground chipotle, granulated garlic, paprika, black pepper, and chili powder by the pound. I have a bag of oregano the size of a Websters dictionary. I make various rubs with the spices primarily, mainly for pork and poultry. For beef I usually just use salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic.

As far as store-bought spice mixes, of course we have Old Bay, lots of different steak/seafood/chicken spice mixes, and a few others. I even have pink salt for making cured meats like pastrami. About 8 different kinds of sugar. Probably 10 different kinds of chili powder.

Take equal amounts of good mayonnaise (like Hellmann's) and some coarse-grained mustard. It is a fantastic spread for sammiches.

I just had some of that on my sausage and egg burrito. My wife put it on without even asking me. We buy it by the quart.

I like Franks OK but it's a little on the mild side for me. I like Crystals, Tobasco, and Trappeys.

What do you use ?

Yup, that stuff is great. I like it on omelets and breakfast burritos.

I like Durkee's, Texas Pete and Louisiana Red Hot sauces, too.

Amen.
