"This is the Top Secret Recipes version of Wendy's chili. I never really liked beans in my chili until I tried this recipe. I love it because it is so hardy. We sometimes serve it with cheese, onions and fritos."

Sorry, cannot review. No cooking instructions other than combining ingredients. I would have like to have tried this but without instructions no point in trying. Looked good but....Thanks for posting though. If you revise this I'd love to try it. Thanks

Although this tasted somewhat like Wendy's Beef & Bean Chili, we thought it a tad blander than their's. That is the reason for the loss of a star. However, if you wanted to feed kids, this would probably satisfy there taste. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Chef #547234. Made for My-3-Chefs 2009.
