This is what I do
I have been doing for a few years. Given to me by a good friend. I broke it down as I don't need so much not sure where she got it from but my friends a family like it. Just used it with other inger for my steaks
3 large california dried chilies or dried New Mexico chiles
1 or 2 large dried ancho chiles
1 or 2 large dried pasilla chiles
3 dried guajillo chilies
3 dried chipotle chiles
2-3 TBSP cumin seeds
2-3 TBSP coriander seeds
1/2 Tbsp whole cloves
3 TBSP dried Mexican oregano
2 tsp powder garlic
1 tsp powder onion
1/2 -1 tsp cayenne pepper if you want I little more kick
1 Tbsp mild paprika
Get rid of the stems and seeds from the dried chiles and break up
Toast the dried chile pieces in an ungreased skillet for about 2-3 minute, or until just when you start to smell them (do not allow to darken or burn) remove chiles and set aside to cool.
Over low heat, toast cumin, coriander,garlic, onion and cloves in the skillet for about 3 minutes or until they become aromatic; set aside to cool.
Grind the chile pieces put in a bowl.
Grind the toasted spices and oregano and add to the chili peppers mix up well
Grind all 1 more time. Add the paprika and cayenne if using.

Penzey's has a Chili Con Carne spice mix that's sodium-free, and very tasty.
Rec: Chili Powder
Here's one I've made often from Dave DeWitt's The Whole Chile Pepper Cookbook. I see it's very similar to Carol's recipe.
Chili Powder
1 part dried ground Cayenne or other red chile such as Piuin or Chile de Arbol
1 part dried ground Pasilla chileor other mild powder such as Ancho
5 parts dried ground red New Mexican chiles
2 parts garlic powder
1 1/2 parts ground cumin
1 1/2 parts ground oregano (I like to use Mexican)

You can add some cocoa powder to any of the above for extra depth. It's so good!
