Wendy's Chili Recipe - Slow Cooker Copycat Recipe
11:24 PM
One of my favorite things about the weather turning colder is an excuse to make chili, and lots of it. My dad used to make the best chili, and I can never quite make it the same as him, but the chili at Wendy's comes pretty close. However, I can't always get in the car and head to Wendy's, mostly because it is about 40 minutes away from my house. That is why this Wendy's chili recipe is so great, because you can make it at home any time you want!
Ingredients:
2 lb Ground Beef
2 28 oz Diced Tomatoes in Juice
1 16 oz Kidney Beans drained
1 15 oz Pinto Beans drained
2 small Onion diced
1/4 cup Celery diced (2-3 stalks)
1/4 cup Bell Pepper diced
3 tbsp Chili Powder
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 cup Water
Instructions:
Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef in a pan and drain.
Step 2: Add the water, boil and drain the mixture to eliminate more fat.
Step 3: Place meat and all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE chili and am definitely going to give this a try. It's been years since I've had Wendy's chili, but being that I usually throw a chili recipe of one sort or another into the crockpot at least once a month, (the winter is such a great time for a nice hearty bowl of chili!), this is definitely on my list !

ReplyDeleteI love Wendy's chili and I love slow cooker meals more. I always get to working and forget that I'm cooking so slow cooked meals are best for me.
ReplyDeleteTried this recipe and my family loved it!! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteBeing as I worked for Wendy's for 10years all I can say is the recipe looks good except Wendy's doesn't put celery in their chili.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me about how many servings this makes? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAt least 6-8, we are a family of 6 and always have leftovers.
DeleteI feel really stupid for asking this, but do you add the water to the chili, or is that just used to drain the meat in Step 2?
ReplyDeleteNope, you add it to the browned meat, then boil and drain the meat again before adding the meat to the chili. :)
DeleteI used 1 can diced tomatoes and 1 can tomato sauce, A mix of yellow, red and orange peppers instead of green, 85/15 ground beef and did not boil, minced garlic not powder. Was awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo I have this in the crock pot now for diner however I added 2 cups of water but I didn't think I was suppose to I believe that was just to boil the meat. Hope it's not to watery any ideas how to thicken it up if needed
