Wendy’s famous chili is typically sold hot at its restaurants. Soon, Wendy’s will sell its chili in canned form at grocery stores.

The fast food chain is partnering with Conagra (CAG) to bring Wendy’s “beloved chili into homes across the country” in canned-form for $4.49 when it hits shelves this spring.

Similar to the chili served at Wendy’s, the canned version also delivers the “flavor you know and love from Wendy’s restaurants” and combines beef, peppers, beans and simmered in a tomato-based sauce. A can has 29 grams of protein, but a sodium amount wasn’t released.

This will be great for our once in a while chili dog night. Wolf and Hormel just don't do it for me.

Not really. But the Taco Salad isn't the worst thing in the world.

Marginally better.

It's decent.

When they make it they use their patties that have been under the warmer to long for the chilli. The longer the chilli sits in the warmer the better it is.

I thought they used old overcooked hamburger patties as part of the meat in the chili?

They do. They've recently asked each franchise location to start making more old overcooked burgers and mailing the overage to the processing plant to make the canned version.

You think the restaurant doesn’t take it out of a can?

It's definitely not the worst chili I've had and with saltines and Wendy's hot chili sauce it's enjoyable. Also great on their taco salad.

Wolf is also a Conagra product and generally the best canned chili.

$5 for a can of fast food chili is insane.

It's still too high but both are under $2.50 for a 15 oz can at Walmart.

So how are they going to replicate their chili in the restaurants on a broad scale?

Are they going to cook a load of their burger patties and put them in a steamer for a day, then dice it up for their canned chili?

I’m actually a little surprised that someone hasn’t said that Wendy’s chili isn’t real chili since it has beans in it…
