John wanted Wendy's Chili one night so I looked up a recipe. I only use recipes that have five stars - otherwise it's risky business! I found this recipe for Wendy's Chili and gave it a whirl.
I have changed the recipe to better suit five kids.
2 lbs ground beef (I use 1 when running low)
one 29 oz can of tomato sauce (I use our homemade canned when I have it available)
one 29 oz can of pinto beans (with liquid)
one 29 oz can of kidney beans (with liquid)
one handful of dried onions
a couple stalks of celery
2 teaspoons cumin powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
I have added more beans for a thicker soup - without their liquid. I've also omitted the celery when we don't have it.
After cooking the hamburger, I add everything together, warm it up and serve it. It takes me maybe fifteen minutes and it's good. It's great for leftovers too!
