Wendy's Chili Recipe

You should certainly give this copycat Wendy's chili recipe a try if you're a fan of Wendy's chili. I'm really surprised that it contains cocoa powder and brown sugar and very little chili powder.

I haven't tried it yet but I certainly intend to. I'm a big fan of Wendy's.

A friend gave the recipe to me and she swears that it is THE recipe for making Wendy's chili.

Wendy's Chili Recipe

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 can onion soup -- 10 3/4 oz
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons cocoa
2 cans kidney beans - undrained
6 teaspoons tomato paste
15 teaspoons tomato sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
6 cups v8 juice

Brown the ground beef in the vegetable oil. Break the beef into tiny rice size pieces.

Place the onion soup and half of the cooked beef into a blender and process on high speed until it resembles cement mortar.

Combine the blended beef with the unblended beef into 2-1/2 qt saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until flavors are blended.

This Wendy's chili recipe should serve 6 to 8 people.
