In a large pot over medium high heat, brown the ground beef along with the onion, bell pepper and celery. Drain after cooking and return to the pot.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours.
WENDY’S CHILI RECIPE INGREDIENTS LIST
What I love about this recipe is that the full ingredient list can be found immediately in most kitchens.
There’s nothing crazy you need to go out of your way to source here.
2 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 C chopped celery
1 46 oz bottle of tomato juice
1 29 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 C chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp white sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
WENDY’S CHILI SEASONING
If you wanted to just create a seasoning that you could add to any chili in order to give it a bit of a Wendy’s vibe, here’s what I’d recommend.
Combine and mix the following dry ingredients in a plastic bag or seasoning jar:
1/4 C chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp white sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
You could keep this on hand to add to any chili in order to bring out the flavor a bit more and make it a taste a bit closer to Wendy’s chili recipe, although keep in mind that a lot of the flavor comes from the wet ingredients as well, so this won’t be a perfect process.
