Walt’s Chili Recipe

Walt’s Chili Recipe

Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Walt Disney Studios. It was an amazing experience which I will go into further in another blog. Today we are focusing on one thing Chili. Not just any Chili, but Walt’s Chili. 

Walt loved Chili so much that he would sometimes be seen eating it straight out of a can. It was something that was a staple at the studio commissary and is still that way today. I was fortunate enough to eat at the commissary and to try Walt’s famous chili. Thanks to D23 for sharing the recipe for us all to enjoy. You can find it here along with other great recipes.

Chili is still served at Walt Disney StudiosI will say it is not what I expected, although I’m not really sure what I expected. I guess I should say it isn’t like the recipe typically make, but it was still really good.
