Smilinize, The only Italian seasoning I ever put into chili is 'Garlic.' I use chili powder and taco seasoning in mine. But you could add some oregano, thyme an maybe alittle rosemary would be o.k. You could also add any bar-b-sauce sauce you had in the fridge. Last time I made chili I added a little terriyaki and catsup for sweetness and it was wonderful.... [Smile]
