I love Wendy's chili !!! My friend sent me an e-cookbook of copycat recipes and this was one of them. I changed it up a little bit, and made the first batch. Almost exactly like the original. It's really does look and smell pretty darn close -- and is easy and economical. Treat your family to fast-food -- but you'll know exactly what's in it!
