Layer the Beans: In a clean, dry quart-sized mason jar, layer the dried black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, lentils, split peas, and pearl barley in that order. Press each layer down firmly before adding the next.
Add the Seasonings: On top of the layered beans, add the onion flakes, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, parsley flakes, and brown sugar. Finish the layers with the bay leaf and the beef bouillon cube.
Seal and Decorate: Seal the jar tightly with a lid. You can decorate the jar with a ribbon, label, or fabric to make it extra festive and personalized if you plan to gift it.
Prepare the Chili: When ready to make the chili, empty the contents of the jar into a large pot. Add 8 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chili is ready, remove the bay leaf and serve hot. You can top it with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Enjoy this comforting Beef Chili Soup with your loved ones!
