Wendy's Chili Recipe?

If you haven't tried Wendy's chili, then you are missing out.  For a fast food chain, it is very good and decently healthy for you.  Low in fat and high in fiber.  This recipe claims that it's a copycat recipe but I'll be the judge of that.  The recipe was very meaty and thick and I doubled the spices and it turned out great.  Very flavorful, I had two servings :)  But, it was different than Wendy's, actually very different.  In a good way though, I think it might be better.  Give it a try yourself.
