Wendy's Chili With Beans, Canned Chili, 15 oz.

I really like this chili. It's not too hot, but just a hint of spice to make it taste good. Its filling and a good and hearty thick chili. It's not exactly like the chili I remember from Wendy's as I worked there during school years. But its a good hearty meal that's quick and easy to fix and a nice variety of meal when I want something a little different. When I don't have enough in a order to get it quick, I often add a can of this chili as I always like it.

I was surprised. Might be my new favorite. Probably not at nearly $5 a can but, putting the price aside, yeah, it's like having Wendy's away from Wendy's. Thing is, you got to follow the instructions on the can, heat it once as much as you would normal chili (and remember people think the whole can is a "serving" when in reality it's not, so you have to use your brain some and think), stir, then heat again. Perhaps even a good amount longer than the can prescribes, as I did, and before you know it, you got yourself a bowl of Wendy chili! The taste is 100% comparable. Now I see why some people have room to complain, when framing it to a fresh bowl you'd get from Wendy's direct (assuming their employees are on point - example, my closest Wendy's happens to be poorly-run, so I'm lucky if it's even lukewarm by the time I receive it, but ignoring that variable), sure the spices and peppers are going to be a bit less fresh and luscious (juicier) and of a lesser, enjoyable, savourable texture and tasteful element but everything else is there. And let's be honest, at a Wendy's drive-thru, depending on the spot and quality of management, it's a gamble. If the franchise is managed right, if you happened to show up during busy hour when the product is fresh or if you're a night owl like me and you're getting what's left after half a day, it's either fresh or it ain't. I can honestly say this is probably comparable to what the restaurant itself likely receives direct and reheats for consumers. Now, if you can get yourself a greater volume for a lesser price, fresh, go for it! Mine seems to be charging basically just about the same for even a small Chili (actually more, I just checked) so, it's not an unreasonable purchase for me. Now obviously this canned version likely has some extra fillers and preservatives (not to mention increased sodium) than what's delivered to the restaurant so it makes it "shelf-stable" and able to arrive safely from the plant to your pantry but, honestly, I for one couldn't tell the difference. It's not like most Amazon products where you have to commit yourself to a 12 or 24 pack and be stuck with a product you don't like, it's just one can. Try it. I can just about guarantee you'll like it.

Tastes great! However it’s a little expensive (3.50-4.80) and doesn’t taste exactly the same. If in-store is a. 8-10 the in-can is. 7-10. Seasoning is not quite exact, but still good.However I would pick the Jack Links chili over this every day.

It has so little veggies in it. Just beans and meat. I had to add a little sugar to it. It's not as good as what they sell in their restaurants but it will do when u just don't feel like cooking lol.

I have longed for Wendy’s Chili for over 12 years when the last Wendy’s in the area closed. I was happy to find it on Amazon and made some upon receipt in the mail. It was tasty and satisfying and nice to know I’ll always have a good meal choice as long as I have cans in stock. The only thing is some pieces of ground beef are larger and flat and very chewy. I put so much shredded cheese and saltine crackers and jalapeño pepper slices in it so I hardly notice the ground beef. Thankful to have you back in my life Wendy’s Chili!

My recent experience with this canned chili was, to put it mildly, deeply disappointing. While I cannot definitively state whether the condition of the can played a role in the sub-par taste, the overall impression was one of disgust and a stark contrast to expectations.From the moment I opened the can, a faint, yet unsettling, aroma wafted out. This was a prelude to the flavor that followed, which I can only describe as profoundly unpleasant. The most prominent note was a distinct "tinny" taste. This metallic undertone completely overpowered any other potential flavors that might have been present, leaving a lingering, artificial sensation on the palate. It was as if the essence of the can itself had seeped into the chili, rendering it unpalatable.This was a significant departure from what one might expect from a chili product, and particularly so when drawing a comparison to a familiar benchmark like Wendy's chili. Wendy's, for all its fast-food origins, offers a chili with a recognizable and generally appealing flavor profile – a certain savory depth, a hint of spice, and a satisfying texture. This canned chili, however, bore no resemblance whatsoever. It lacked any of the expected warmth, complexity, or even a hint of genuine chili character. Instead, it was dominated by that off-putting metallic note, making it feel bland and manufactured in the worst possible way.The texture, while not the primary offender, also contributed to the overall negative impression. It was perhaps a little too uniform, lacking the varied chunks of meat and vegetables that one would hope for in a hearty chili. This might have been exacerbated by the overriding metallic taste, making it difficult to discern any nuance in the consistency.Given this overwhelmingly negative flavor experience, my conclusion is unequivocal: I will not be purchasing this product again. The unappetizing and tinny taste, regardless of the can's condition, renders it completely unacceptable. It failed to deliver on the basic promise of a flavorful and enjoyable chili, and instead provided a thoroughly unpleasant culinary detour. For anyone seeking a decent canned chili, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Pretty good for canned chili but there are better brands for much less cost .

This chilli is really good. It's our favorite canned chilli.
