My Aunt posted a photo on Facebook a few weeks ago of a knock-off Olive Garden Chili. It was a cold week here in NC (we’ve had quite a bit of SNOW!!) so I “had” to make it! I didn’t make it in my crock pot like the recipe called for (because I didn’t have enough time). The chili turned out delicious minus the fact that I accidentally burnt a few of the kidney beans on the bottom of the pot so it had a nice smokey flavor, opps!! Because I burnt it, I cannot really compare it to Olive Garden’s Chili – but I do agree that the taste could have very much tasted like Olive Garden’s.

 

Give it a try for yourself and let me know what you think!
