My best friends brother-n-law worked for Wendy's fast food chain for several years, she gave me this recipe when she found out how much I love their chili. I was surprised to see how simple it was! Yummy to my Tummy!

This recipe is delicious. Aaron really likes Wendy's Chili. I made some for dinner tonight. I just added four garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of cumin. It makes up very tasty. I drained two cans of beans and did not need to thicken the chili to serve. The tomatoes and sauce make the consistency just right. Try it!

It is always nice to have recipes of this type. I found a recipe book with about 1000 recipes from well known restaurants. I found the recipe for the lime-cilantro salad dressing like the one at Cafe Rio. It is delicious. If anyone is interested in it, let me know. That salad dressing recipe is the reason I bought the recipe book from Barnes & Noble a couple of years ago. It was worth buying. The book is about three inches thick!
