Wendys Copycat Chili Recipe

The perfect meal on these crazy cold Spokane nights. I am not sure how you are feeling about winter but I am already on a countdown to spring......dreaming of tulips, daffodils, green grass, and leaves on the trees. OK, Enough warm weather dreaming.

At least the chilly weather is perfect for crock pot recipes, chili, and snack food!

This recipe can easily be spiced up a bit if you like spicier chili!

    I am not a chili eater - we don't like beans here. Although Wendy's must make good chili because a lot of people want to recreate it.
