Storebought Chili? FROM CLEVELAND?!?!

[Mikhail]

Yah. Whitey's Booze and Burgers in Richfield is known for their chili. You can get it at Gordon's Food Service in a 5 lb frozen bag. I heated one up for lunch and was surprised how good it was. It's mild, so you have lots of room to spice it up as you like, but it has a good meaty flavor - not too much tomato. I added some cut up fresh jalapeno and some ancho powder to give it a nice polite burn, but the first cup I just had straight and enjoyed it.

Now, this is a midwestern chili, not Texas, so it has beans but they are pretty small and not all mealy.

Of course this experiment is all Adams' fault because he posted that Ghost Town Chili Seasoning stuff. :mrgreen:

You're my hero (for the day- hero status expires each nigh at midnight)

Yup. That's a big lunch!

Wendy's chili is also available in stores. No idea how it compares to the real stuff you get from the restaurant. May have to try it, even though it contains beans.

PA is too damn big. Closest PA store is like 5 hours away. I'll stick to my Chili recipe, lol.

Really? Where? I love Wendy's chili. I mean, i wouldnt call it chili, but whatever it is, its good. I actually make my chili similar to Wendy's. I bake ground beef on a baking sheet and chop it up before adding to a pot to make chili. Its basicly what wendy's does, but they use leftover burger patties. Whats great about this method is i can add chili powder to the ground beef before pressing it into the baking sheet. As it cooks, the grease bakes out, but the chili powder stays in. So when its chopped, it has tons of chili flavor inside the chunks.


PS: You're welcome for the tip.

Wally World, among other stores.

Are you trying to be cute and calling Walmart that, or is that an actual store?

Don't get out much, eh Bob?

Sounds good to me Mik. Will have to look for it in MA. I like Beans in Chili

The company I work for used to do an annual chili cookoff (pre pandemic). One year a guy took first place with repackaged Wendy's chili.

Well, there WERE leftovers, y'know. :mrgreen:

You can buy Wendy's chili now at Kroger here. Kind of pricey at $5 a can, but available and it's always nice to have a quick meal you can just nuke up.

It was an honest question. Some chain grocery stores go by different names depending on what state. For example, IGA, Weis and King's are the same company.


Whenever i read a Walmart thread, there's always a few people calling it Wally World.

Just returned from Wal Mart picking up a select full packer for $20. It wasn't yellow tagged but guessing it was reduced with regular sticker. So not that far to canned chili and there it was, Wendy's chili in a can. $4.97 and can wasn't that big.Ill try it someday, but not today. I used to eat Truck Stop enchiladas on Wednesday several decades ago. The owners daughter gave me the recipe. Melt two pounds Wolf Brand Chili no beans with two pound brick of Velveeta. Semi freeze, scoop into oil softened corn tortillas and roll. Layer rolls in baking dish cover with Old El Paso red enchilada sauce. Heat till bubbly adding a layer of cheddar on top. Serve with salad and pintos.
Truck Stop Enchiladas, safer than Truck Stop Sushi

 

[Mikhail]

Yeah, Truck Stop Sushi is a no-go for me.

Or maybe a go-a-lot. Both ends.

But the enchiladas sound delicious. I bet they'd be great with Skyline Chili!!!

It's slang for Wal-Mart. Similar to Catty, PA for Catasauqua, PA.

It’s expensive though.
I think it’s $5.99 for a normal sized 14oz. can.

Yeah, that's nuts. Might as well just go to wendys and buy a large chili for cheaper.

Rowes and Albertsons are also a part of IGA.

If we're talking store bought chili, here's my choice.
