How to Make Wendys Chili Swedish Style

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 jalapeños (minced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon chipotle paste (or to taste), 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup water or chicken stock.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
