    copycat wendys chili recipe

    Wendy's Chili is one of those things that you either love or you hate. I happen to like it, although I can count the number of times that I have eaten it by itself on one hand. When I eat it, I am always eating it poured over a salad, with cheese sprinkled on top. It just makes the perfect dressing for salads when you want something good!

    The difference between this copycat Wendy's Chili recipe and my other easy chili recipe is that this one involves boiling the beef to remove excess fat after you have browned it. it also has less tomatoes and more beans than most other chili recipes, making for a beefier chili.

    To make it, you will need:

    copycat wendys chili ingredients

    • 2 lb Ground Beef
    • 2 28 oz Diced Tomatoes in Juice
    • 1 16 oz Kidney Beans drained
    • 1 15 oz Pinto Beans drained
    • 2 small Onion diced
    • ¼ cup Celery diced (2-3 stalks)
    • ¼ cup Bell Pepper diced
    • 3 tablespoon Chili Powder
    • 2 teaspoon Cumin
    • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Oregano
    • 1 teaspoon Sugar
    • 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • 2 cup Water
