Instant Pot Wendy's Chili 

Didn’t have Wendys to compare, maybe later. But this is the best chili I’ve ever had. Full of flavor just absolutely delicious. And so easy to make. Thanks.

My favorite chili recipe I’ve been going back to this video for a year now!

Thank you soooooo much man. I am a French guy living in France and my wife and I are gonna have a great chili tonight, thanks to you

I used to work at Wendy's, and we actually used overcooked beef patties for the meat in the chili , we called it "chili meat" LOL. For some reason, we used to sell a crap load of chili when it rained, never understood that phenomenon. Anyways, your recipe is spot on, Thank You for the video...One.

This video is blowing up!!! as it deserves to be, that chili came out looking like the bomb, whether it´s wendys or not, nice honest taste test brother

Glad my Dad didn't know about Spurtles or it would have been something else he'd have used to beat my ass when I was a kid.

My dad and I made 2 batches today! Perfect! Thank you!

This is spot on, Amazing!!! TY :)

Thanks for the recipe my all time favourite! Big Ups!

Just made this....VERY GOOD. Decided to do all ground turkey and it was great in our Instant Pot. Thank you sir.

Definitely gonna make this. Thanks !

Gonna try this! Good tip I’ve picked up when doing a chilli is throw a slug of balsamic vinegar in about five mins before it’s done. Gives it another level of zip between the heat and the tomato base. Keep up the good work my man!

Thank you awesome recipe!

Thank u for the recipe , quick easy and taste great !

Looks delicious.. can’t wait to try it.

Just made it, and it’s spot on! Thank you!

I just made another batch of your chili. It’s amazing, my kids love it. Also my guy said finally after 3 days, lol. I’ve actually talked about making this for 3 days. My guy is a fan, too. Thank you for satisfying our palates.☺️

Looks delicious and easy to do certainly will make it soon thank you

I am going to have to make this one! Well that was a quick cook! Nice head to head test. Time to start making cold weather food!

Looks delicious

That looks so good. My wife and i love your videos and recipes. So cool brother.

I really enjoyed watching this video! You’ve got some really awesome talent at being a youtube creator!

I done it its amazing I love this chilli thank you brother. cheers

This is my go to chili recipe!

Do you use v8 vegetable juice or tomato juice? it looks fantastic! Thank you!

This is a great idea. I like what you have done, bet it taste even better then Wendy's! I discovered your channel by watching Charley over at Pickles! New subscriber as well

I made this today and it was amazing. I ended up using low sodium v8 juice but it still had so much flavor 😊

Alright. I'm a big fan of Wendy's chili. Your chili is damn near spot on if not exact to Wendy's. Made this today, by your recipe, and it is amazing. Good stuff my man👍

Looks like I will be doing this one soon. Looked very easy........Take care, Bluefin.

Another good one. Thanks for that. I was really hoping you would say "First you dump one quart of Wendy's chili in. Then you cook it for 7 minutes." LOL

Great video.....my kids will be the true critics of your recipe tonight. I'll keep you posted.

Yours actually looks better, Jaxx! FYI, i read somewhere that Wendy's uses leftover burgers to make their chili so, that might account for the texture of the meat in their chili! 😊 I've seen other recipes for Wendy's chili, but quite honestly, yours is the first I've wanted to try! 😊

Thanks for this video! I always order chili at Wendy's when we go there. We will have to give this a try.👍

Looks delicious!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

This will be the perfect recipe for a family camping trip late August. Make some baked potatoes, have chips and cheese......we can all eat the chili how we like and it will be enough to serve our big crowd.

Yours wins hands down really looks great

Another great choice for a very tender meat to counteract the firmness of beef is ground elk. When I grind mine, I add about 10% beef fat, or suet. Mixed with ground beef, it makes beef recipes more tender and adds a bit more hearty meat flavor.

Will try this, ordered Spurtles!

I like the head to head, I had Wendy's a few times growing up, the chili, friostees and their tables I remember. I do chili a lot in the instant pot, always good and easy.

I worked at Wendy's in high school (many moons ago). I can still make it in my sleep and I also still don't crave it. Ever. The only thing I don't know for certain is what all was in that bag we mixed in. The main "secret" (wasn't a secret at all) was that we used burgers which had been cooked and cooled (almost no grease). Yours looked like an improvement to me. If those Spurtles are that cheap, I might get me a few too. 🤔

When you want chili and don't have a lot of time, this would be a perfect recipe for that! Wow, total cook time 7 minutes!

How do you know how many minutes and if on low/medium/high pressure cooker setting to put it on?

I have been eating Wendy’s chili for quite a while. In Southern California, we have a restaurant chain called “Corner Bakery“. Their chili is known as big Al’s chili and it is delicious. Or I should say was delicious because it’s no longer on the menu. I never had that chili flavoring pack before. And then one time I got my chili and they had thrown a couple of those packs in. I don’t know if they had gone bad or what, but it tasted like ass. If you really want a good flavor with some spice, add equal parts, Cholula, hot sauce, and Tapatio hot sauce. Combining both of those makes an outstanding hot sauce.

Brother THIS LOOKS AMAZING! Definitely making it tomorrow. It's actually cold in TX so this is perfect! But isn't Wendy's chilli a little sweet??

Thanks for the recipe! Where did you happen to get your spurtle? I’d like to get one for my husband, who loves cooking with our Instant Pot. 😀

I made this with venison! Awesome!

Good vid! You happen to have a substitute for Wendy's Hot Chili Seasoning? That stuff is my favorite but I can't seem to find anything like it. Thanks

new subbie. I'm going to make this tmrw

I'm a huge fan of Wendy's chili, this is a must watch video, good good

well its simmerin' in the instant pot, choose to reduce slowly instead of using pressure, smelling great!

I made your chilli recipe. It is delicious 😋 I used all ground turkey. Thank you for posting this video 😂

Good idea on the firm texture. I assumed they use the leftover pre-cooked burger patties from the previous day. I wonder if it would be possible to dehydrate some Wendy’s chili...

Im making the Wendys chilli recipe today. Ill let you know. Looks good..

Looks great. I bet yours was better. Never had any fast food chili. Might have to give it a try. Great looking chilli recipe. I liked the color.

What is your favorite chili. Please post a link if there is one. I will say I did exactly, and it was very good.

Sunday gonna make. Lol

YUMMMM!

I love Wendy chili so this looks to be a winner. and its Fall/Winter = winwin and win!

I have to admit, I do like Wendy's chili. I'm not sure it's real chili, but i like it. LOL Well, I have another of your recipes to try ! Thanks Jaxx

I love those Wendy's hot chili seasoning packets they give you. Is there any way to make that stuff at home?

Wendy's chili meat is tough because it is twice cooked. The beef that goes into the chili already was cooked as burgers that could no longer be served as burgers because they were too old.

If you have a local Menards, they sell Spurtle sets in wood or silicone. I chose Silicone. I really like them.

How long do you cook it in a crock pot?

LOOK HERE LOOK LISTEN Liquid Richard lovin this! Reel Tawk!

Made this for dinner last night and my girlfriend loved it.

Do you think this recipe would work with a stove top or the Afghan pressure cooker? Thanks

Awesome chili

Where can I buy one of those spertals suturing sticks?

I like the turkey in there Jaxx....cutting the fat...not cutting the flavor. I forgot how watery Wendy's chili is. Delicious video bud!

The firm texture of the meat is due to being overcooked. The meat that has been on the grill for “too long” roughly 15-20 minutes minimum is put in a steam drawer, until it can be counted. You count out patties, rinse them off in the sink, then put them in a freezer bag. They are placed in the freezer. When it’s time to make chili, you take the oldest bag of meat and boil it in a large pot to thaw it, then chop it up. And add it to the chili pot. The rest of the ingredients are frozen and come pre-packaged. It varies between each restaurant, but generally chili meat is treated pretty poorly. We would throw it at each other, sometimes drop it on the floor or in the dish soap, then just rinse it off and put it in the bag to be frozen. Sometimes the chili meat would fall into the grease trap while it was still on the grill, and sit in there from 1pm to 11pm until the grease traps were emptied, when it would be found and placed into the chili meat warmer until the following day. So anyways, that’s where that nice firm texture comes from. I think I’ll take this home recipe over Wendy’s any day!

brother you forgot ketchup an mustard . got to remember wendys chili is made from burgers that dint sell . they can scrap of all the topings they want to but there always going to have mustard and ketchup on them . and i think thats why people cant get it right . but hey i could be wrong . your the man brother .

Well, that tears it! I am going to have to make some of my 3 Meat chili! Rock On Jaxx!

Hello. What type of V8 juice (flavor ) did you use? Thanks

You should just throw your beard over your shoulder when you eat 🤣💪🍻✌

Where’s my “Frostie”???

7 mins.... you can't beat that!

nice simple recipe man!! 👍👍 4:23 also you don’t need to hold the pressure release button to release the pressure,.. you can just press once and it will release the pressure 😂

What if you don't have a fancy pot like that how long over the stove?

Can I use this same recipe on a stove top? Looks very delicious 😋

Looks better than Wendy’s tenfold! Bet it’s better too

He holds chili knowledge in that beard

I want a spurtle simply because I like saying it.

Can u put a video up of YOUR chili u make pls?

Not too many Wendy's in my neck of the woods. Closest ones are 1-1.5 hrs away. And I think I've eaten at one only 1 or 2 times and have never had the chili. Have you shared your chili recipe? I have my brother-in-law and nephews coming up for Deer hunting in a few weeks. A good pot of chili would be good. And since I'm asking, do you have an IP recipe for chicken and gravy? Like you would put over biscuits or mashed potatoes. I attempted to make some tonight. It didn't turn out too bad, but both myself and my wife thought it was missing something. And it kinda was. Salt. Trying to watch my sodium intake.

Four cups is a quart. I feel stupid AF! This whole time I have been telling people it's two pints.

Every time I make chili it tastes different... I don't why... It just does... It might be that the ingredients change just a tad... But, you are right... Chili is chili... Haha!! Thanks, Jaxx... I might have to invest in one of those instapots.... you make it look so easy ... ;-)

Can't let that beard get in the chili! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm growing mine out but have a long ways to go to catch up with you. Good looking chili bro.

Nicely done Jaxx!!! side by side taste..beautiful..yours was a little thicker it seems. This one is taking off Jaxx, wouhouuu!!!!

Wendy's chili has chunks of tomatoes 👍

Send this to Richard, also tell him Sean Ranklin sent me

A huge part of the Wendy's Chili experience is the way the beef is cooked. Texture and the maillard reaction play a large role. Instead of browning the beef make some skinny hamburger patties than break them up into small chunks once fully cooked.

We must be twins...hahahaa I just made chili in my instant pot 2 days ago hahahaha!! Cant go wrong with a pot of this goodness!!! #jaxxalicious

Don`t know how true it is, but I dated a woman that worked there a short time & they used the left over meat from the day before & that (maybe) the difference?

Wendy's chili is so good! I bet yours was better! ;)

If I left out the onion would that change the flavor dramatically? I just really hate onion texture but love chili when the onion is super small or (ideally not existent)

WHO CARES EAT BE WELL YOUR CHILI IS THE BEST

You said that your chilli recipe is better than Wendy's. Now I'm curious to know what that recipe is. Would you ever be willing to share it?

Can you stir a Turtle with that Spurtle? Why do they call it Chilly when it's always hot? What the difference between an orange? TFS

Kinda like Stephanie Manley’s copykat recipe, Tks,

Should have put some petite tomatoes in it just saying Looks Yummy
