Yummy! I love Wendy's chili and I always tell myself to look for a copycat recipe to make at home, and then I never do so. But it's starting to *slightly* feel like Fall here in Florida, and I so need to make this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yum, thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing! That looks delicious! I can almost smell the deliciousness from here!
I wish I saw this earlier today. I actually made chili and cornbread for dinner tonight. Mine was good, but it wasn't as amazing as this sounds. 🙂 Thanks for posting!!

This recipe looks great! I made the Kraft Hearty Slow Cooker chili last week and oh my goodness, it was THE BEST chili I've made in a long time!
So glad you posted this! Looking for a good chili recipe!
Last year, my husband and I made the best chili recipe. I completely forgot about it until I saw yours, so thanks for reminding me about it 🙂 We don't eat much beef, because it makes me feel sick, but chili is such great comfort food during these colder months!
Looks delicious! I enjoy chili with a big "chunk" of cornbread smothered with Kerrygold butter. It's so good!! Hope you have a great night~
So I keep forgetting to tell you that I made this chili the night before Halloween for my little pumpkin carving ceremony. It was quite delicious! I didn't see that 2 alarm chili starter thing at HT so I googled it and found this recipe which is apparently the quantity of all the spices that is in the kit. http://www.food.com/recipe/2-alarm-chili-39280Thought it may be helpful for if you ever don't have a hit on hand. Thanks for the great recipe, my dear!!
YAY! I will definitely need to refer to this recipe for our next batch! Glad you loved it! I froze a bunch of containers for future meals. 🙂
Just had to tell you, I pinned this recipe when you posted it back in October, and I finally made it yesterday. OMG soooo good! It was my first time ever making chili and I'm so glad I used this recipe, it was delicious. Thanks for sharing it!
