WENDY’S CHILI COPYCAT IN THE SLOW COOKER

Here is Wendy’s copycat chili a must-have recipe at home! Rich and full of flavor what more can I say. I’ve cooked this a dozen of times before and it never fails me. With loads of beans and veg, it keeps me and the family full and satisfied each dinner time.

With the perfect amount of heat in a vibrant tomato sauce the beans and veg just soak up every little ounce of flavor leaving you with an empty plate! Serve with sour cream and fresh coriander to bring the heat down or fluffy rice to really get the most out of this chili.
