  1. This tastes just like Wendy's indeed!! My husband had like 5 bowls (nor joking 🤣) of chili! It was soooo good. I opted out of the celery and used chili beans in sauce instead of ranch beans as my store didn't carry them. Perfect recipe on this cold, rainy day!!!! The Yummiest!!!

  2. I make this at least once a week since I stumbled across this awesome recipe, which has been about two months!! 😂 This is the only way I make it and just omit the celery haha. My husband and I can NOT believe how much it tastes like Wendy's chili, but more fresh and with lean meat haha. Thank you for coming up with such clever and yummy recipes.
