I've watched them make the Chili at my local Waffle House. It most certainly does involve meat, although the recipe featured here does not appear to be identical. <br /> <br />When I watched the cook make the chili, this is what went in it: <br /> <br />4 1/4 lb beef patties <br />A bunch of sausage patties (I couldn't count them) <br />Onion <br />1 single-serving can tomato juice <br />A bunch of water <br />A bag of Waffle House Chili Mix (I suspect all the seasoning, along with the beans, is in there.) This was more than just a seasoning packet, but there was no liquid in it. <br /> <br />I can't imagine my local restaurant piled all that meat in the chili just for the heck of it, if the bag already had meat-like substance. <br /> <br />Except for the tomato juice, not a single can was opened to make the chili.
