Chili like Wendy’s

Chili like Wendy’s

Chili: One thing we know for certain is that Chili did not originate in Mexico. There are many legends and stories about where chili originated and it is generally thought, by most historians, that the earliest versions of chili were made by the very poorest people. If there is any doubt about what the Mexicans think about chili, the Diccionario de Mejicanismos, published in 1959, defines chili con carne as (roughly translated):?detestable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York.? Chili is the official dish of the U.S. state of Texas. It can be found worldwide in local variations and also in certain American-style fast food restaurants like Wendy’s ;). A popular saying among self-proclaimed chili purists is, “If you know beans about chili, you know chili ain’t got no beans.” The concept that beans do not belong in chili may be further credited to the fact that most official chili cookoffs do not allow beans. In many cases, a chili will be disqualified if it contains such ingredients, considered filler. I found this recipe clone of Wendy’s and tried it. And surprisingly it taste a lot like it. And here I got another version of Chili

This is a good copy cat recipe of Chili’s and can be used as an appetizers, or dinner since it got everything already in one small package. 🙂 It’s best to make these a day ahead before consumption. The 4 hours 20 minute prep time includes freezing this appetizer.
