Wow
I can’t wait to make the chili
Better at home
I have a severe tomato allergy and haven’t had chili in 10 years. When I saw this recipe, I had to try and alter it so I could eat my nostalgic Wendy’s Chili! I substituted Nomato Sauce I make at home for the Death Sauce, added a can of green chilis, left out the tomatoes and the tomato sauce. Everything was the same except I cooked it on the stove the old fashioned way. My husband worked at Wendy’s back in the late 70’s when we were in high school and said it tasted just like Wendy’s Chili! He loved it and so do I ❤️❤️❤️!!!
Thank you for saying don’t need instapot to make this….I make chili a lot…one of the faves here…in a pot on the stove…before INSTA-anything…lol
