Just Like Wendy’s Chili

Here’s my version of ‘Wendy’s’ Chili which I absolutely love … I may not do fast food but when I’m in the mood for Chili … it’s gotta be Wendys.

Just Like Wendy’s Chili

1 lb Ground Beef

½ cup Onion, diced

1 can Diced Green Chilies

¼ cup Celery, diced

1 can Tomato Sauce

1 can Red Beans, undrained

1 can Pinto Beans, undrained

1 can Diced Tomatoes

1 can (6 oz) V-8 Juice

1 tsp Cumin Powder

2 Tbsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 tsp Sea Salt

In a large pot, brown the Ground Beef and drain.  Crumble Ground Beef into pea-sized pieces.  Add Onion, Chilis and Celery to Ground Beef and sauté for 2-3 minutes.  Combine the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer.  Simmer for an hour or so, stirring every 15 minutes.
