Didn’t have Wendys to compare, maybe later. But this is the best chili I’ve ever had. Full of flavor just absolutely delicious. And so easy to make. Thanks.
Is it OK to put 2 oz of canned tomato sauce?
I used to work at Wendy's, and we actually used overcooked beef patties for the meat in the chili , we called it "chili meat" LOL. For some reason, we used to sell a crap load of chili when it rained, never understood that phenomenon. Anyways, your recipe is spot on, Thank You for the video...One.
Chili during a rainy day is so comforting 🥰🥰🥰
I was just about to make the same comment I used to work there as a teenager , yep the extra burger patties from the previous night is goes into the next morning chilli, but we never re used a cooked chilli it goes in the trash nightly, so it’s made daily
@@tiffanysgottimetoday4589 That's good to know, it's always fresh. But too bad they don't let the employees take it home
My favorite chili recipe I’ve been going back to this video for a year now!
This video is blowing up!!! as it deserves to be, that chili came out looking like the bomb, whether it´s wendys or not, nice honest taste test brother
Heck yea man I'm happy it's doing so well. These instant pot videos seem to do way better than my other videos. Thanks for the comment Albert.
Thank you soooooo much man. I am a French guy living in France and my wife and I are gonna have a great chili tonight, thanks to you
Glad my Dad didn't know about Spurtles or it would have been something else he'd have used to beat my ass when I was a kid.
Bahahahaha SAME...That would have been the first thing my mom would have grabbed.. that's after she pulled the crap out of my hair.
My Mom was the one that used anything in reach. The orange Hot Wheels track were a favorite.
Right 😅
Just made this....VERY GOOD. Decided to do all ground turkey and it was great in our Instant Pot. Thank you sir.
Glad you enjoyed it
Alright. I'm a big fan of Wendy's chili. Your chili is damn near spot on if not exact to Wendy's. Made this today, by your recipe, and it is amazing. Good stuff my man👍
Thank you!
I just made another batch of your chili. It’s amazing, my kids love it. Also my guy said finally after 3 days, lol. I’ve actually talked about making this for 3 days. My guy is a fan, too. Thank you for satisfying our palates.☺️
That is awesome!
Gonna try this! Good tip I’ve picked up when doing a chilli is throw a slug of balsamic vinegar in about five mins before it’s done. Gives it another level of zip between the heat and the tomato base. Keep up the good work my man!
I love vinegar in chili and soups!
Yours wins hands down really looks great
Thank you!
This is my go to chili recipe!
My dad and I made 2 batches today! Perfect! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Glad you guys liked it!
Another great choice for a very tender meat to counteract the firmness of beef is ground elk. When I grind mine, I add about 10% beef fat, or suet. Mixed with ground beef, it makes beef recipes more tender and adds a bit more hearty meat flavor.
Sadly, I have no access to elk whatsoever.
I have been eating Wendy’s chili for quite a while. In Southern California, we have a restaurant chain called “Corner Bakery“. Their chili is known as big Al’s chili and it is delicious. Or I should say was delicious because it’s no longer on the menu. I never had that chili flavoring pack before. And then one time I got my chili and they had thrown a couple of those packs in. I don’t know if they had gone bad or what, but it tasted like ass. If you really want a good flavor with some spice, add equal parts, Cholula, hot sauce, and Tapatio hot sauce. Combining both of those makes an outstanding hot sauce.
Another good one. Thanks for that. I was really hoping you would say "First you dump one quart of Wendy's chili in. Then you cook it for 7 minutes." LOL
Bahahaha that would click an epic click bait ..
Made this for dinner last night and my girlfriend loved it.
Excellent!
Just made it, and it’s spot on! Thank you!
Glad you liked it Charles!
I made this with venison! Awesome!
Wendy's chili meat is tough because it is twice cooked. The beef that goes into the chili already was cooked as burgers that could no longer be served as burgers because they were too old.
When you want chili and don't have a lot of time, this would be a perfect recipe for that! Wow, total cook time 7 minutes!
I know right, chili in a hurry! hahaha.. Not as good as a chili that's been simmered for hours but it is spot on with Wendy's flavor.
Thanks for the recipe my all time favourite! Big Ups!
Thans Jordie - hope you enjoy!
I made your chilli recipe. It is delicious 😋 I used all ground turkey. Thank you for posting this video 😂
My pleasure 😊 Glad it worked out for you! I've never made it with all turkey but I'll give it a try!
This will be the perfect recipe for a family camping trip late August. Make some baked potatoes, have chips and cheese......we can all eat the chili how we like and it will be enough to serve our big crowd.
Solid plan Samantha!
The firm texture of the meat is due to being overcooked. The meat that has been on the grill for “too long” roughly 15-20 minutes minimum is put in a steam drawer, until it can be counted. You count out patties, rinse them off in the sink, then put them in a freezer bag. They are placed in the freezer. When it’s time to make chili, you take the oldest bag of meat and boil it in a large pot to thaw it, then chop it up. And add it to the chili pot.
The rest of the ingredients are frozen and come pre-packaged.
It varies between each restaurant, but generally chili meat is treated pretty poorly. We would throw it at each other, sometimes drop it on the floor or in the dish soap, then just rinse it off and put it in the bag to be frozen. Sometimes the chili meat would fall into the grease trap while it was still on the grill, and sit in there from 1pm to 11pm until the grease traps were emptied, when it would be found and placed into the chili meat warmer until the following day.
So anyways, that’s where that nice firm texture comes from. I think I’ll take this home recipe over Wendy’s any day!

Thank u for the recipe , quick easy and taste great !
My pleasure 😊
Looks delicious and easy to do certainly will make it soon thank you
My pleasure 😊
Yours actually looks better, Jaxx! FYI, i read somewhere that Wendy's uses leftover burgers to make their chili so, that might account for the texture of the meat in their chili! 😊 I've seen other recipes for Wendy's chili, but quite honestly, yours is the first I've wanted to try! 😊
Hey, Colleen, I have heard the same thing about Wendy's using the burgers. If they are, which would make sense. I would agree with you about the texture. if you like Wendy's I think you should give it a go for sure. Now I'm not saying it's the best chili I ever made but it is the closest I have ever had to Wendy's chili before.
I made this today and it was amazing. I ended up using low sodium v8 juice but it still had so much flavor 😊
Glad to hear it lilycakes!
I done it its amazing I love this chilli thank you brother. cheers
Great 👍
Will try this, ordered Spurtles!
LOOK HERE LOOK LISTEN
Liquid Richard lovin this! Reel Tawk!
lmao. Wonder how many people understand the joke.
What is your favorite chili. Please post a link if there is one. I will say I did exactly, and it was very good.
Sunday gonna make. Lol
Great video.....my kids will be the true critics of your recipe tonight. I'll keep you posted.
I worked at Wendy's in high school (many moons ago). I can still make it in my sleep and I also still don't crave it. Ever. The only thing I don't know for certain is what all was in that bag we mixed in. The main "secret" (wasn't a secret at all) was that we used burgers which had been cooked and cooled (almost no grease). Yours looked like an improvement to me.
If those Spurtles are that cheap, I might get me a few too. 🤔
Heck yea roger that. I knew that they put leftover hamburgers in there. that's that unique texture I tried to replicate using the ground turkey. What really pulled it together was adding Wendy's chili sauce packs to each bowl, You almost couldn't tell the difference.
You mean they really didn't put anyone's finger in it ??? Hahaha
Someone at Amazon has been watching this channel because those spurtles are now just under $30 and although they still look useful four bamboo paddles come out to around $7.50/ea. Just FYI.
I want a spurtle simply because I like saying it.
If you have a local Menards, they sell Spurtle sets in wood or silicone. I chose Silicone. I really like them.
well its simmerin' in the instant pot, choose to reduce slowly instead of using pressure, smelling great!
Nice!
That looks so good. My wife and i love your videos and recipes. So cool brother.
Right on! Thanks David!!!
I love those Wendy's hot chili seasoning packets they give you. Is there any way to make that stuff at home?
I haven't found any recipe for that and I love to put that on my chili. If you come across anything similar, I would love to hear about it.
@@cmoore7821 no, its not pepper flakes at all. Its a syrupy thick clear liquid
Wendy's chili has chunks of tomatoes 👍
You're a lucky gal...my Wendy's got chunks of nothing but beans and on a good day, ground beef!
This is spot on. Amazing!! TY :)
You are so welcome!
Definitely gonna make this. Thanks !
He holds chili knowledge in that beard
And many other things...
Brother THIS LOOKS AMAZING! Definitely making it tomorrow. It's actually cold in TX so this is perfect! But isn't Wendy's chilli a little sweet??
Looks delicious.. can’t wait to try it.
Im making the Wendys chilli recipe today. Ill let you know. Looks good..
Well!?
@@troye.1309 I guess it offed him. RIP
Thank you awesome recipe!
This is a great idea. I like what you have done, bet it taste even better then Wendy's! I discovered your channel by watching Charley over at Pickles! New subscriber as well
Welcome, welcome!!!
Do you use v8 vegetable juice or tomato juice? it looks fantastic! Thank you!
Don`t know how true it is, but I dated a woman that worked there a short time & they used the left over meat from the day before & that (maybe) the difference?
Absolutely correct, sir!
Looks like I will be doing this one soon. Looked very easy........Take care, Bluefin.
Let me know how it turns out brother and thank you for the comment.
You should just throw your beard over your shoulder when you eat 🤣💪🍻✌
I try but it doesn't stay. I need a couple more inches. hehehe thanks Aaron ..
Tie Clasp. LOL
brother you forgot ketchup an mustard . got to remember wendys chili is made from burgers that dint sell . they can scrap of all the topings they want to but there always going to have mustard and ketchup on them . and i think thats why people cant get it right . but hey i could be wrong . your the man brother .
Looks delicious!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😋
Where’s my “Frostie”???
Mmmmm I haven't had a frosty in years.. I love those things.
Looks delicious
Looks better than Wendy’s tenfold! Bet it’s better too
I am going to have to make this one! Well that was a quick cook! Nice head to head test. Time to start making cold weather food!
Heck yea very quick Papa. They don't call it fast food for nothing.. hahahah.... Hope you had fun and lolapoloza
Awesome chili
Thanks!
nice simple recipe man!! 👍👍 4:23 also you don’t need to hold the pressure release button to release the pressure,.. you can just press once and it will release the pressure 😂
I'm pressing it down to release it more quickly. All that steam on expensive cameras are not recommended. But thanks for the tip.
Should have put some petite tomatoes in it just saying Looks Yummy
Four cups is a quart. I feel stupid AF! This whole time I have been telling people it's two pints.
Now you got me feeling stupid because I though 1 quart was 2 pints :)
Ya both are knuckleheads cuz everyone knows us 32 US fluid ounces...🙄😒😏😉👍😎😎
Nope! A Quart is 1/4 of a Gallon.
Send this to Richard, also tell him Sean Ranklin sent me
A huge part of the Wendy's Chili experience is the way the beef is cooked. Texture and the maillard reaction play a large role. Instead of browning the beef make some skinny hamburger patties than break them up into small chunks once fully cooked.
Great idea! Can't wait to see your video to see how you do it!
I really enjoyed watching this video! You’ve got some really awesome talent at being a youtube creator!
Thank you Freya I really appreciate it. I see you have a channel as well I will go check it out.
Can I use this same recipe on a stove top? Looks very delicious 😋
Yes, absolutely! I haven't done it that way, but I don't see why not.
Okay thank you 😊
Do you think this recipe would work with a stove top or the Afghan pressure cooker? Thanks
Afghan, sure. But I've never done it on the stove. Sure, it would turn out perfect, but I have no clue about times. If you give it a try on the stove, let me know!
I hate to drag up old comments but I finally did this with my stovetop pressure cooker and it turned out great. I have a gas stove and cooking time was the same. Thanks
Gonna try this with lentils for the vegan in the house. In case you didn’t this stove top pressure cooker works the same time thanks
WHO CARES EAT BE WELL YOUR CHILI IS THE BEST
I love Wendy chili so this looks to be a winner. and its Fall/Winter = winwin and win!
Hey Tommy, this is a pretty good chili if you're looking for "Wendy's" it's as close as one can get. Thanks buddy and have a great weekend.
@@JaxxDrinkwater I know there are better but I love wendy chili.
Thanks for the recipe! Where did you happen to get your spurtle? I’d like to get one for my husband, who loves cooking with our Instant Pot. 😀
I love these spurtles! The extra long handle let's you get right in there without sticking your whole hand in the pot. Here's what I got:
amzn.to/32QDhvJ
7 mins.... you can't beat that!
Heck yea it's fast!
Looks great. I bet yours was better. Never had any fast food chili. Might have to give it a try. Great looking chilli recipe. I liked the color.
What? never had fast food Wendys? I mean it's not all that or anything but when I do go to Wendy's I will usually order a burger and a chili.
@@JaxxDrinkwater I have had Wendy's just not the chili. I freaking love the baconator.
Thanks for this video! I always order chili at Wendy's when we go there. We will have to give this a try.👍
Hey brother thanks for the comment. The chili is pretty dang good. I hope you are doing well.
@@JaxxDrinkwater I'll have to show this video to my wife. After my 200 mile hike on the SHT in May we both started new jobs. It did slow us down some for CZcams, but we will be back.
Good vid! You happen to have a substitute for Wendy's Hot Chili Seasoning? That stuff is my favorite but I can't seem to find anything like it. Thanks
I wish! Thanks for watching!
@@JaxxDrinkwater Have you tried the Ass Kickin' Roasted Garlic hot sauce? If not it's perfect for chili. Give it a try & see what you think. They sell it in a mini-bottle for a couple of bucks so even if it's not to your liking you won't be out much for trying it. Good stuff.
www.hotsauce.com/ass-kickin-roasted-garlic-hot-sauce/
How do you know how many minutes and if on low/medium/high pressure cooker setting to put it on?
www.thebeardedhiker.com/instant-wendy-chili
Good idea on the firm texture. I assumed they use the leftover pre-cooked burger patties from the previous day. I wonder if it would be possible to dehydrate some Wendy’s chili...
I don't see any problems with it at all... Although I haven't tried it before... "Real" Wendy's chili doesn't seem to be fatty. This chili I would just rinse the meat with hot water after browning.
That can’t be chili. It has beans in it.🤣
I don't mean this as being critical at all. Maybe it is just the video, but to me, both look to be somewhat watery or thin. More like a soup than a chili. Not saying it ain't good, but just looks somewhat watery to me. I love to add a little handful of oyster crackers to my chili when I eat it. Never had any Wendy's chili to know what it tastes like, as my wife always made our's. I am a newbie with the Instant Pot, so I am just learning and videos such as this add to ideas of something good for me to cook. My wife is still working, but I am retired, so she is letting me cook more and more these days. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback a1930ford!
Wendy's chili, on it's best day, it not a hearty, thick chili. It's somewhat thin. May not be for everyone, but it's a good crowd-pleasing chili.
How long do you cook it in a crock pot?
Not sure, I haven't tried it that way. 4-6 hours on low, I would guess. I would love to hear how it worked out if you try it in the slow cooker!
I have to admit, I do like Wendy's chili. I'm not sure it's real chili, but i like it. LOL Well, I have another of your recipes to try ! Thanks Jaxx
If you got an Instant pot it is worth doing for sure that and the Pressure Cooker Chili Cheese Dog Chili.. You can't go wrong with either. Thanks for the comment my friend.
I like the head to head, I had Wendy's a few times growing up, the chili, friostees and their tables I remember. I do chili a lot in the instant pot, always good and easy.
Me too brother. It was a heck of a lot better back then.
YUMMMM!
Word!
I like the turkey in there Jaxx....cutting the fat...not cutting the flavor. I forgot how watery Wendy's chili is. Delicious video bud!
Man is it me or are those Wendy's Chili and their single with cheese considerably smaller than when we were kids.. Maybe my hands are just bigger
Hello. What type of V8 juice (flavor ) did you use? Thanks
I like to use the Spicy V8 but whichever you like will be fine
It came close to Wendy’s but honestly homemade is always better!
new subbie. I'm going to make this tmrw
Let me know how it turns out ..
I'm making this recipe with two pounds of impossible meat.
How'd it turn out?
@@JaxxDrinkwater I haven't made it yet but I will.
You said that your chilli recipe is better than Wendy's. Now I'm curious to know what that recipe is. Would you ever be willing to share it?
Sure thing man, it's right here czcams.com/video/U8nz0gQmGro/video.html
If I left out the onion would that change the flavor dramatically? I just really hate onion texture but love chili when the onion is super small or (ideally not existent)
My husband hates the texture of cooked onions as well. Just put your onions in a blender. The onion flavor makes a difference.
I think it would change the flavor. You could do onion powder instead though.
What if you don't have a fancy pot like that how long over the stove?
I would say an hour or so. I haven't tried it on the stove, so if you give it a whirl I would love to hear about it.
@@JaxxDrinkwater thank you for the reply I do appreciate it and yes sir I will report back
I worked for Wendys for two whole days as a Store Manager in training. At the end of my 2nd day, I had a meeting with the store manager who was training me and the area manager on how I was doing, the store manager said I caught on to everything very fast but I complained a lot on how Wendys does things and the Area manager wanted to go over that with me. She told me, it's not a choice on how to do things and If I didn't like it I should just quit now. Now she didn't ask what I complained about and was really rude when talking with me. So, I told her there are Federal and state laws everyone has to follow when it comes to cooking and handling food, and Wendys has to follow those rules or get closed down. I told her I'm not going to quit but I'm not going to put meat in a bucket that sits on a table in the back all day and then put it in the freezer so it can be used to make chili. I was let go right after saying that LOL. That's how much Wendys make it " yes even today" some even have a pot next to the stove because they are too lazy to walk to the back. When a health inspector comes in, they claim it's meat being thrown out because they don't need it for chili. would explain why I got so sick after eating their chili before I worked there. Most of this I got from others that worked at Wendys and a few ex-managers from Wendys I worked within other places. So, Make it at home and be safe.
If you want it to have more of a Wendy's taste to it, Cook the meat a day ahead and then freeze it overnight. thaw it out by boiling it in shallow water " where the water just covers the meat". It's odd how it works lol
Can u put a video up of YOUR chili u make pls?
Sure! I don't do MY chili in the Instant Pot though, but I'm sure you can make it work.
czcams.com/video/U8nz0gQmGro/video.html
Every time I make chili it tastes different... I don't why... It just does... It might be that the ingredients change just a tad... But, you are right... Chili is chili... Haha!! Thanks, Jaxx... I might have to invest in one of those instapots.... you make it look so easy ... ;-)
I think you would enjoy that sucker. it cooks things quick. perfect for you on those cold winter days when the weather sucks to be outside. Cheers Bill
I am also thinking about an air fryer... Some of things I see Booger make looks so good... I am limited in space... so I don't know yet... There are so many cooking styles and types.. You are an inspiration!! for sure!! Haha!! Thanks, Jaxx
Not too many Wendy's in my neck of the woods. Closest ones are 1-1.5 hrs away. And I think I've eaten at one only 1 or 2 times and have never had the chili. Have you shared your chili recipe? I have my brother-in-law and nephews coming up for Deer hunting in a few weeks. A good pot of chili would be good. And since I'm asking, do you have an IP recipe for chicken and gravy? Like you would put over biscuits or mashed potatoes. I attempted to make some tonight. It didn't turn out too bad, but both myself and my wife thought it was missing something. And it kinda was. Salt. Trying to watch my sodium intake.
I don't have a recipe for chicken and gravy but it sounds like something I would want to try. I do have a chili recipe that I shared on CZcams that's the bomb diggity czcams.com/video/U8nz0gQmGro/video.html
Sorry I am going to have 3 days of terrible hives if I use turkey. I think my heart will be happier without the meat . The tricky part is no getting it too spicy
Did he say OR A GONO ? never heard of it. lol
V8?? Pressurevcooker??Looks good, ill give it a try. Beans dont explode? 😳
No sir - beans were made for a pressure cooker. They come out quick and delicious from dry.
Can't let that beard get in the chili! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm growing mine out but have a long ways to go to catch up with you. Good looking chili bro.
Nope, that would be a bad thing. May your growth be prosperous and vigorous.
