Join the discussionSo glad you liked it! I was just looking at my bottle of hot sauce in the frig and thinking about making this again!
This looks yummy! My husband and I love anything buffalo!Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites! I’m featuring you this week. Come grab my featured button if you’d like one.
I made a big pot of this and ate from it for a week before
finally freezing the last portions for next week’s lunches. I loved
this chili.
Yay! 😉
How many servings does this recipe yield?
Wow! Thanks for catching that I missed that. 8!
Very good recipe! I made this a few weeks ago and it went over really well with my very picky hubby. It did come out overwhelmingly spicy; not sure if it was the amount chili powder or the Frank’s Red Hot buffalo sauce. I’m defrosted it for dinner tonight. Adding in some corn.
I have a question…the directions say to saute peppers, but there are no peppers in the ingredients? Is the Chili Powder suppose to be Chili Peppers?
That is actually a typo in the directions from a change I made. I fixed it. Thank you for letting me know.
Is the 45oz can of navy beans a typo? Should it be 15? Just seems like a LOT of beans! 😉
Mindy we’ll have to get back to you on that. Tricia developed this recipe and she’s on vacation this week! I would try it with just 15 ounces first and if you feel it needs more beans to be more of a chili, go ahead and add another two cans. I haven’t heard of many complaining of too many beans in chili 😉
This recipe looks great. Any chance of getting a Whole Foods version?
Great suggestion Jan. I will pass it on to our recipe development team, but until then, this recipe is almost whole foods as is. You just have to choose a buffalo sauce that doesn’t have a lot of sugar or additives. Franks Red Hot is a good one, or Tessamae’s. The only other ingredient that is questionable is the chili beans. You could simply add a can of plain beans (such as kidney or pinto) and add some extra chili seasoning from your pantry. Enjoy!
How many servings does this make?
Never mind!!!
Glad you found it Rosanne! Let us know what you think.
