Chili - Tastes Like Wendy's

Are you a Wendy's chili fan? I have to admit I really am. I tried a new freezer chili recipe for dinner tonight and was so happy with the way it tasted. It really is close to Wendy's chili. Want the recipe? Tonight I doubled the recipe so we had one meal to eat tonight and I froze the rest for a meal next week.
