The best store bought chili is the Costco chili that comes in the clear square plastic containers in the prepared food selection. It is as good as homemade chili.

Just be sure to scrspe off the shredded cheese from the top. The cheese they use is not good, but the chili is fantastic.

I had hormel canned chili for lunch today. Chili on top of corn chips, extra sharp cheddar cheese and plain Greek yogurt its so good.

Wendy's makes canned chili now but its not as good as Hormel.

Not vegetarian, but I like Hard Times vegetarian chili.

Costco - The big bowl Of soup in prepared food section. Only thing is - cheese is on top but ends up all mixed in when poured into Dutch oven/,

Whole foods has it in the prepared section this time of year.

Just buy a chili seasoning packet, a few cans of beans, can tomato, tomato sauce and if you want meat, and mix. You can freeze the extra.

Clyde’s is my favorite too.

Former chili cook off competitor and place winner here.
Hard Times Cafe can’t be beat - to eat there, take out, or buy their spices and make at home. Outstanding.
Suggestions: simmer your meat for 3 hours not shorter time suggested on box and feel free to add pink chili beans or pinto beans if you like NOT kidney beans.

Hard Times is the clear answer, multiple great options to suit your taste. Now I want some.
