I really enjoy Wendy's Chili So I have been playing around trying to make a clone for a long time. I have read other clones on the internet for the recipe and here is where I stand with the recipe. I think it is pretty close to the taste Wendy's chili has. I would love any comments or suggestions to improve this chili enjoy =)

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger (i use lean)

1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans

1 (15 ounce) can medium flavored chili beans

1 (10 ounce) can rotel mild diced tomatoes and green chilies

1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 (14 ounce) bag frozen vegetables, i use kroger mirepoix cajun style blend (frozen chopped onion, celery, green peppers, if you can't find this mix then use 4 oz chop onion, 5 )

2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Brown the hamburger and drain the grease.
2. Add seasonings and frozen vegetables when frozen vegetables start to heat up
3. add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Simmer the longer the better I like to simmer at least a couple of hours.
5. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
