We made Walt Disney’s FAVORITE homemade chili recipe! This is an official Disney family recipe from 1958 which was shared by the Walt Disney Archives! They shared a hand typed recipe which was found in a file titled “Walt’s Favorite Foods”. It was so cool to make Walt Disney’s favorite food, homemade chili!! This chili recipe is very mild, as Walt didn’t like things too spicy. Kids will love it for that reason! With that said, just add the recommended spices if you prefer your chili with more of a kick!
This chili recipe will fit perfectly in a 6 quart (5.7 liter pot). 🙂
This is the exact chili recipe (typed word for word) that was Walt Disney’s favorite, per the Walt Disney Archives!
