Reviews
I’ve watched them make the Chili at my local Waffle House. It most certainly does involve meat, although the recipe featured here does not appear to be identical.
When I watched the cook make the chili, this is what went in it:
4 1/4 lb beef patties
A bunch of sausage patties (I couldn’t count them)
Onion
1 single-serving can tomato juice
A bunch of water
A bag of Waffle House Chili Mix (I suspect all the seasoning, along with the beans, is in there.) This was more than just a seasoning packet, but there was no liquid in it.
I can’t imagine my local restaurant piled all that meat in the chili just for the heck of it, if the bag already had meat-like substance.
Except for the tomato juice, not a single can was opened to make the chili.
Bert’s Chili actually does not have any meat in it at all; it uses TVP or TSP in the place of meat, as do most commercial canned chilis. Not a bad chili, but not like Waffle House’s either.
this is a great chili with good flavor with things you can have on hand. It also lets you spice it up without ruining it’s integrity. We gave it two thumbs up.
wonderful taste…..has great flavor
