Wendy's Copycat Chili
Description
This chili recipe starts by browning two pounds of ground beef in a large pot, draining excess fat to reduce greasiness. The meat is then combined with tomato sauce, kidney and pinto beans (including their liquids), diced onion, green pepper, celery, and seasoning: ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and water to achieve desired consistency. The mixture is brought to a simmer and cooked over low heat for two to three hours, with stirring every 15 minutes, to allow flavors to meld and the chili to thicken. This slow cooking results in tender vegetables and a robust, well-developed chili suitable for hearty meals or gatherings.
