Chili

What is it?

Simmered for hours from ground beef, kidney beans, chili beans, diced tomatoes, celery, onions, green peppers, and a blend of chili seasonings, this longtime Wendy's staple has a thick, spoonable texture with visible beans and bits of beef. Mild heat is typical, with more savory warmth than sharp spice. It's sold in small and large cups, and it can stand alone or show up over fries and baked potatoes. Unlike many fast food sides, it's prepared as a made-in-store chili, and the kitchen also uses cooked beef patties that weren't sold as burgers.
