Wendys Chili

[jcboxlot]

This turned out well.  Pretty quick and easy save for the simmer which requires time

2 lbs beef
29 oz tom juice
15 oz can tom puree
1 can red kidney beans
1 can pinto beans (drain and wash each)

1 onion
1 green or red pepper

3 tps chili powder (video calls for 1/2 cup????)
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

salt pepper to taste

brown beef
lightly cook onion and pepper
add all and simmer for 3 to 4 hours.

I dished over a garlic and cheese bisquick baked mix.


I was surprised how close in taste it got to Wendys.  Not bad.


Maybe leftovers I'll smoke to re-heat.

All my chili recipes now go in the smoker after they are assembled on the stove top.  The taste blows peoples minds.

Thanks Greg

The last batch was 2 oz. for an hour.  Some times I do a quick stir and taste at an hour and shut the door for another 30 minutes.
