3-17-19 Lunds/Byerlys Frozen

Thought I’d start a category for products you can by at a store either canned or frozen or maybe a “chili starter” kit.

I’ve had Byerly’s chili a number of times and on occasion I’ve done some doctoring to jazz it up. For this review, just had it plain.

For a store bought, mass-produced chili I am giving this pretty high marks. The overall taste was solid, hints of tomato, a little sweetness, touch of chili powder flavor. It has a pretty good ratio of meat to beans and the sauce had a not too thick consistency. Most of the meat was smaller, not a lot of big chunks. I think this will please the masses but if you want to get some heat/extra spice have a few things on hand to add. I’ll usually add some extra chili powder or smoked paprika.

For value I recommend buying there when you can get the 4/5 for $10, which is a great deal.

Went here for breakfast and they were nice enough to make the chili for me even though it wasn’t supposed to be ready until lunch. I was really impressed with my cup! It wasn’t thick where the spoon stands up on its own, just liquid enough where you can dunk some bread 🥖 and get some good sauce. This had a good tomato, chili seasoning and pork taste. I have to say this was one of my favorite cups of chili in the past few years.
