they can be enterchanged!.!. and I know first hand!.!.
I use a lot of chili powder!.!. but you have to be sure of the brand!.!. I live in the middle east!.!. and they labels are mis leading!.!. we use grown red chilis in our curries, etc!.!. so if I just buy chili powder!.!. its just as if I bought red pepper powder or cayenne powder!.!. I have to look specifically for "mexican chili powder blend"!.!. that has!. the typical flavoring you want in mexican dishes like chili, tacos etc!.!.
its a blend of red pepper powder, black pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic etc!.!.
now once I was making enchiladas and ran out of my spice blend!.!. so I did pick up a packet/sache of the chili seasoning!.!. and I read the ingrediants!.!. it had most of the same, but what was different, is it had a starch added!.!. something like flour or corn starch!.!. I assume so if you added it to ground beef in a pan and a drop of water, it would thicken up like gravy!.!.!. but it still worked and flavored my enchiliadas the same as the other!.!.
so try it!.!. go ahead!.!. im sure it wont hurt the dish you are cooking!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, they are not the same thing!.
Chili Powder is just dried chili powdered, while Chili seasoning probably has salt, garlic powder, chili powder, dried herbs, and all the other stuff for making Chili!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
