Wendy's Chili Copycat Recipe
  1. Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add oil.

  2. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook it unmoved for about 5-8 minutes, until you get a nice sear on it.

  3. Use a wooden spoon to break the ground beef into crumbles and cook it until no longer pink, about 5-7 more minutes.

  4. Stir celery, onion, and green bell pepper and cook for about 5 minutes.

  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  6. Pour in stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, and water (only if you want a more brothy chili).

  7. Stir in the Seasoning ingredients.

  8. Add kidney beans and pinto beans, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil.

  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.

  10. In the end, mix in the vinegar into the chili, taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

  11. Serve with your favorite toppings.
