That's too bad because a lot of people like their restaurant chili. Many copycat recipes when you search for chili recipes.

I never ordered their chili. Always a burger, fries and a frosty. Been a while since eating there because not as good as use to be.
That...not even close. Back in the 80s/90s I ate at the LP Wendy's 2-3 times a week. My office was only 1/4 mile or so from there. I liked everything they cooked, including the taco salad and the chili. Such a bummer when you consider the quality of what they put out now.

2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion
green/red/yellow peppers if you like them (I don't)
W-sauce
Beef BTB
1 or 2 cans of Rotel
chili powder
1/2 tsp instant coffee
smoked paprika
cayenne
salt
black pepper

Brown the ground beef with chopped onion, breaking it into chunkies. Drain some grease if there's a lot. Add a few shakes of W-sauce, a blop of BTB, and 1 cup of water; simmer uncovered for 20 mins or so until a lot of the water evaporates. Add the Rotel and sprinkle everything else in the mix, simmer for 30 mins +-. Add a can of beans if you want them, otherwise it's done.

If??? The beans are the crux of the matter...the perfect in perfection...the propellant of the gods...
These days they transport cattle by truck using diesel fuel.

In the early 20th century, they transported them by rail using coal.

When the Cowboys did it they were powered by natural gas.

I was curious..

"People in the Midwest, particularly in states like Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, are most commonly known to eat chili with cinnamon rolls, as this pairing is considered a classic comfort food combination from that region; it's often attributed to school lunch menus where the combination proved popular with students."

(more info about if people want to learn more.)

People like what they like, no big deal..

I use to say no to some things.. then changed my mind

You don't eat it *on* the cinnamon roll, the roll comes on the side like cornbread or whatever. And it was a plain cinnamon roll, not frosted or anything like that. I was well into adulthood before I realized that's not a standard thing across the country. Even at school we'd get a cinnamon roll on chili day.

Well, that's a little better! I was picturing how some people pour it over corn chips or cornbread!

Likewise.

I’d prefer the cornbread and save the cinnamon roll for my coffee at breakfast.
