This recipe is pretty close to the taste of Wendy's Chili, but I like recipe 19061 since it is much easier even if this tastes more like it. Most will not notice the difference. I would add to cook in a Crockpot cook on Low for 6-8 hours. Thanks for posting.

    This chilli is very good. The only thing I do differently is season to my own tastes with the cumin and chili powder, I usually add a bit more, and instead of the water i add either V8 juice or either chicken or beef broth.

    Good but needs red and green bell pepper, sauted and canned stewed tomatoes, at least 2 28 oz cans or 3 in lieu of tomato sauce and water.. Lots of fresh crushed garlic and chili peppers along with the chili powder, corriander along with the cumin and a sprinkling of oregano.. I also use mixed beans for color variation with pinto and black and red and white kidney....Beans.. MJJ

    Love this chili,I found the recipe a few years back.The great thing about it is that it tastes better after it has been frozen. I just freeze single serving sizes and have a quick meal ready to go.
