We love chili, and Wendy's chili is up there on the top of our favorite fast foods list. This was the perfect recipe to try with the sort-of cold weather coming on. It's another Pin-test from
this website. The recipe sounded simple enough and I didn't mind buying chili powder and cumin to add to my cupboard. I did omit the celery however because we were about to go out of town and the recipe only called for a few stalks. I had also intended to cut the recipe in half but ended up still using the full amount of some ingredients. Here is what I used:
Bag of Kidney Beans, cooked
A little less than a lb. of Ground Beef (we cut a 5 lb. roll into 6 pieces)
Whole Onion
Can of Pinto Beans
Can of Petite Cut Tomatoes
Can of Tomatoes and Green Chilies (cheaper that buying the chilies by themselves)
A 15 oz Can of Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Cumin
4 teaspoons Chili Powder (I read it wrong the first time)
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
1 cup homemade chicken stock (instead of water)
It turned out great! We had enough for several meals, I brought some to a friend and we still froze a serving! My husband liked it with a little cheese.
The Chili was super yummy! We ate dinner for two nights on it. I am going to try it but with low salt cans and ground turkey, We may even forgo the meat all together. I will let you know how it comes out.
