What makes Smokey so special
True Texan flavour built from real chillies

Unlike packet mixes, Texas Red has no flour, starch, or sugar. Every spoonful is packed with purpose: cumin, garlic, oregano, and thyme all working together to create layers of flavour in your chilli.
Designed for meat-first chilli con carne
Texas Red was crafted for slow-simmered beef, brisket or venison — the way chilli was meant to be. It holds up to long cooks, bold meats, and rich stock without losing intensity.Big flavour, even on a weeknight
You don’t need an all-day simmer to get results — this blend delivers rich, smoky-savoury warmth in under an hour. Perfect for fast batch cooks or lazy Sunday feasts.What makes Smokey so special

Perfect for fast batch cooks or lazy Sunday feasts.Texas Red is a robust blend of ancho and guajillo chilli, cumin, oregano, garlic, and a touch of cocoa for depth. It’s everything you need for a proper Texas-style chilli – just add meat and stock.
Nope. Just brown your beef (or preferred protein), stir in Texas Red, add stock or water, and let it simmer. You can customise with tomato, onion, or beer if you like – but the rub does the heavy lifting.
It has warmth and depth, but it’s not blow-your-head-off hot. Think bold and earthy with a low-and-slow building heat.
Absolutely. It’s incredible with lentils, beans (yes, we said it), mushrooms, jackfruit, or plant-based mince. Just simmer with your favourite base and enjoy.
Try it in enchilada sauce, taco mince, sloppy joes, or even as a rub for brisket or chuck before a long smoke. It’s versatile beyond the bowl.
