COPYCAT WENDY’S CHILI RECIPE

COPYCAT WENDY’S CHILI RECIPE

An easy to make copycat Wendy’s Chili recipe that you can make right at home. My mom is a big fan of Wendys chili so it was sort of a must to find a good knock-off version of the recipe. 

Love Wendy’s Chili, but want a nice big pot of it at home? Today, I have a Copycat version of the Wendy’s Chili Recipe for you, so you can make it happen right in your own home. What could be more perfect for Game day or a special treat after a grueling afternoon of clearing snow. As a nice bonus canned beans make this an dump easy recipe to toss together, that only needs to simmer a few hours before you are enjoying. The only hands on work really involved in making this chili recipe is browning the ground beef and chopping a few vegetables.

I’m sure you will still visit Wendy’s for an occasional cup of their’s, but this is great when you what a full pot of chili.
