Mild Bill's Spices & Gunpowder Foods have been synonymous with championship chili for over 20 years. Nothing is prepackaged & our spices are kept in a temperature controlled environment. All of our individual spices have a package date so you know that you are receiving the freshest spices available. Whether you are looking for quality ingredients for your own recipe, or want to cook one of the featured championship recipes on our website, we have everything you need. We offer individual spices as well as packaged mixes to ensure you cook a winning and authentic bowl of Texas Red. Please keep in mind that we are an online business and do not have a retail storefront. Should you want to place an order online for pickup, please call the store prior to doing so to coordinate pick up. Gunpowder Foods & Mild Bill's Spices strive to provide top notch ingredients along with the trusted knowledge of our very own Spice Queen, Kelly Brignon. Mild Bill's is a proud Go Texan member.
