20 Best Hot Dog Chili Canned (2023 Updated)

I love food of all kinds. In my medical practice , I often see people try annoying diets consisting of nothing but twigs and berries , skulking through life skinny, yet miserable. I have found the solution – Hormel Chili.

In a blind study using myself as a Guinea pig, I sequestered myself in a single room. I was to be there one week. I had only 2 glasses of Diet Rite Soda ( No ice ) a single bucket and over 400 ozs of Hormel chili.

By the end of the second day I had eaten well over 200 ozs of chili and started to hemorrhage and shake uncontrollably. I was injected with Darvon and slept for 12 hours. 3rd day late afternoon I was awoken to hot coffee being tossed into my face and then needlessly harassed for about an hour.

I’m not sure what this part of the test is trying to simulate but I go with it. Finally , Sunday, last day. My beginning weight was 249 , in just one week I now weigh 112 lbs and stand at 6’3 inches.

My teeth are a burly brown color and my left eye is now green whilst the right is a sour yellow candy color. The positives of the test were as follows – * Great for digestion ( I kept nothing in for more than 40 mins at any given time making it a great weight loss supplement ) * Lowered my hypo glycemic index * Good source of protein I believe the test was a success and the chili had a hearty meaty flavor that lasts for days and will be remembered for generations.

I really like chili and had a taste for it, but there was not much in stock on the website without buying in bulk. Most brands had way too much sodium for me, even Hormel. but this one had the least of the Hormel varieties.

Also, due to beating a positive colon test, I cannot have red meat any longer and the turkey variety also had way too much sodium. Let’s be real, no one divides that can into two servings; you heat the whole can and pour it into a bowl for “one.

” The honest truth is that you cannot expect it to taste the same as the beefy varieties, but it does have a good enough level of seasonings with the TVP added for texture (the veggie “meatish” pieces).

Vegetarians would love it! I felt it was a suitable way to get my chili fix until I can get a good homemade recipe done (in rehab for now, but mine is spicy and oh so authentico!), and I do treat it the same with toppings of cheese, scallions, crema (if available), olives, hot sauce, diced chilis and/or salsa/pico de gallo.

Unfortunately, the price is inflated like everything else now in our pandemic-apocolyptic world. but worth a try!.

I’m a vegetarian and I do try to eat as much natural, whole food as possible but every once in a while, I get a hankering for some vegetarian chili! It’s largley a cheat meal for me. Sometimes I like to doctor a can of vegetarian chili with beans by adding some extra vegetables {corn, bell peppers, onion, extra tomatoes, chives, etc.

} then dollop with sour cream and add a handful of cheese. Other times, I’ll keep it simple and just heat up the chili as is then make a grilled cheese on the side, especially if consuming for dinner.

My husband is carnivorous so it makes eating meals ‘together’ tricky, but on chili night we each get our own can of Hormel {his jam is Turkey w. Beans} and we get to eat the ‘same’ dinner for the night.

It’s a simple joy this vegetarian appreciates! Four stars as this is high in sodium but it’s a treat/cheat meal type of grab, so I’ll allow it!.

Good flavor, but the texture is almost like a bean paste. It tends to get pretty dried out within a couple of hours even at a holding temperature. I switched to Hormel Chili with Beans for my hot dogs, but will try to find some other use for the remaining cans in the case since the flavor is pretty decent.

Was hoping for more of a meat sauce. I’ll be searching their website to see if they have any recipes.

We use this chili hot dog sauce very often at my cafe, especially on hot dog Thursday’s! I would definitely recommend this product. WebstaurantStore always has fast shipping and is consistently reliable!.

This is a good product for anybody that has a high volume business. It is better than the other ones on the market. Unfortunately all my customers rave about my 3 generation old recipe. Which is expensive and time consuming.

I don’t particularly like to eat canned food, but Hormel chili with beans was a special treat when I was a kid. Most everything we ate was made from scratch as that’s the way it was back then, but my dad liked this chili in a can (maybe from his Army days?) and would buy it from time to time.

It’s crazy to think that chili in a can was a special treat, but it was! Home-made chili is fabulous, and it’s nothing at all like the canned stuff, but having this in my cupboard is a little sentimental, and great when I’m hungry but don’t feel like cooking.

It tastes just as good as it did all those years ago, maybe even better because now it doesn’t have that yucky layer of grease on top. I suppose that makes it healthier now than it was way back then.

You’re not supposed to add water, but once I’ve gotten as much as possible out of the can, I put in a couple tablespoons of water and mix it with a spoon or thin rubber scraper to make sure I get every last little bit out of that can! That little bit of water makes the chili go just a tiny bit further.

I prefer to warm it up on the stove, just till it starts to boil because I like it hot, but you have to stir it often even if you’re using a nonstick pot. I think putting it on a stove tastes far better than putting it in a microwave; it just does.

If I could give zero Stars I would. my daughter cannot eat meat in any shape or form. Life depends on it. This is a medical condition and very dangerous for my daughter. We bought vegetarian Hormel chili and there was meat in it.

Made my daughter extremely sick. When contacting”Jenny” in Customer service she would not listen her response was there were no other reports of the issue. WHAT? Never looked into the problem just blamed my family and VTP can look like meat.

Life and death.

The Vanee 3901 Chili Hot Dog Sauce exceeded my expections. Great price and Quality! I would highly recommend. 5 Stars! I will definitely purchase again.

A great buy on the large can of chili hot dog sauce. We had been looking everywhere to find this item and was only told it came in small cans. It has a great flavor is perfect for you hot dogs.

It’s by far the best canned hot dog sauce I’ve ever tried. It has actual beef in it instead of being the usual tomato paste consistentcy of most canned sauces. Great flavor too. Only dropped a star because it’s a little too pricey for me.

However, Wal-Mart does have the lowest price I’ve seen online. Thank you Wal-Mart!.

The taste of Toledo in California – how can I be so lucky! Thank you Wal-mart!! On a whim I decided to see if Wal-mart carried my favorite Tony Packo’s hot dog sauce, the one I grew up with, and I can hardly believe they do.

If you haven’t tried it, you must. Not just for hot dogs, but also try a chili sundae with layered hot dog sauce, cheese, & sour cream, with tortilla chips for dipping. A heart-attack in waiting for sure, but for a treat you won’t be sorry!.

I have been missing this flavor of a coney island hot dog since I was a kid in Flint, MI. I have tried numerous renditions of coney dogs in shops around the country without success. They were never what I was looking for.

After Jimmy Fallon mentioned that he loved Tony Packo’s Sauce on his show, I decided to try it so I looked it up on the internet and found it and ordered a case of 12. I love it! It brings me back to a childhood joy! And I will be ordering more!.

It’s totally fine but I did not enjoy eating it either. It’s at least a thicker chili which seems impossible to find now that I moved to the mid-west where Dennison’s is unavailable but it just tastes kind of weird every-other-bite and the texture is actually a lot more watery than the picture shows.

This is a good backup “I don’t have much of any other options” type of chili, totally acceptable but I’d rather not eat it again.

Wow, I’ve had more than a few cans of cheap chili in my life but this stuff stands out as being the worst tasting variety I ever experienced. I suppose all canned chili is high in fat and sodium but the flavor is horrible to my taste.

The great value chili is nothing outstanding but far better than this. I expected better from Armour.

The worst I’ve ever had the horror of trying. I am a little finicky and tend to try every brand I can find of certain items I like, I don’t think I have tried EVERY brand that makes canned chili with/without beans.

But, I have tried a lot (6ish) and my conclusion has been never to purchase this company nor WOLF canned anything. The chili was grayish in color and had a bitter aftertaste without any flavor.

This is just a step above dog food, I think, though I haven’t tried dog food. I have no doubt there is dog food that tastes, and looks better. I just had the “Homestyle”. It’s very runny, lacks almost ANY chile flavor, and looks NOTHING like what is shown on the can!!! I took pics and will try to post.

I did finish it because I was really hungry but am already regretting it and still have its terrible aftertaste in my mouth. It’s gross!! Argh… I can’t find a way to post pics, 🤮Anyone posting that this Chile is anywhere better than okay is either lying or has never had any even semi-decent Chile in their life! (Maybe they have Covid and can’t actually taste it).

Great taste, the best for chili dogs! I live in assisted living and don’t have much of a kitchen, so I’m always looking for things that are easy to put together with a microwave, an air fryer, a counter-top contact grill, and a toaster.

One of my favorite meals is cooked rice topped with this chili and finished with grated Colby-jack cheese. I get enough for two meals from one can. OK, not exactly gourmet fine dining, but tasty! I keep it on hand always.

Good stuff!.

This is great tasting chili. There’s no argument there. It tastes exactly how I’d expect a decent canned chili to taste. It just looks completely disgusting in a bowl. There’s almost no texture, and the color is a sickly, pale orange.

It’s awful. So I wouldn’t recommend serving this on its own, but it does make a killer chili dog, and would probably work well as an ingredient for other recipes, like a queso dip. If Wolf ever wanted to make the perfect canned chili, they’d take this stuff and add chunks of unprocessed meat to it, leaving out the oats (or beans) filler.

I’d buy that at twice the price.

Horrible chili, feels like there is lime juice or something making the chili tarty. Like how can you mess up making chili!?!?! Even chili dispensed by machines in gas stations taste like the real thing compared to this trash.

If you love this chili, you must be a sociopath.

I bought a case at a good sale price. I have only had one can but, it is good. When I open the next can, I am going to mash the beans with my hand potato masher and add a little hot sauce. The chilli is very mild but, it is excellent in a cheese omelette sprinkled with onions (I used half the can).

The second half of the can, I put the chilli on warm tortillas with grated Mexican cheese, chopped onions, spicey hot jalapeno sliced peppers, and sour cream. EXCELLENT!.

About 40 years ago, we were living in Wisconsin. This is where I first tasted Chili Man chili. Since then we moved Tennessee, then California, then North Carolina, and finally retired in Florida. Chili Man chili was not available in all those states.

but I was able to find Chili Man on line from Walmart. This is definitely the best chili. We just love it.

This was awful! I don’t know what they did to it but it didn’t taste like it used to a few years ago. As a matter of fact it didn’t taste like chili at all. Tasted more like canned dog food smells. Never again!.

Great taste and cheap price. This is a good base for making other meals and snacks because it is a standard, consistent product.

Does everything you want it to do. record both sound and video with the time and date. The resolution is very good, much better than other systems I have had. The tech support is quick and accurate, not like other systems.

You can reach a real person and get the problem solved. I am doing away with the other, much more costly system and going to Wyze exclusively. No more losing connection with the internet (usually within 5 minutes of leaving town) when you REALLY need it.

I am so happy with this system I just don’t hope that I jinx it by writing this good review.

I am a mustard lover. there I said it. 😄This is one of my standard mustards. It is good alone or anytime there is mayonaise on a sandwich this goes right on top of it. I particularly love it on BLT’s or BLT’s with Avacado.

I am going to experiment on a dressing for my BLT salad soon and this will be the mustard in the dressing. It always gets rave reviews when put out with cheese,crackers and aged meats too.

Plochman’ s Premium Natural Stone Ground Mustard is as close as I have ever found that comes to homeade. With a genuine German mustard flavor, it immediately grabs your taste buds and tanks your a attention immediately to let you know they mean business.

This ground mustard gives others a bad name!.

I’m so glad I found this brand. I was looking for a “hot” chili that was cheap and had failed in my first try with another brand. This is a true thick chili with a decent amount of meat to bean ratio.

Sadly the heat seems to come from one ingredient but it does the trick. You get a nice heat on the back of the tongue as you swallow it. Also the heat doesn’t linger in the mouth. I like cheese on my chili and used a mild cheese blend.

But this chili could easily hold up with a stronger cheese, like a sharp cheddar. I was surprised to get extremely mild sniffles especially since other canned ‘hot’ chili never do that. And even though I can’t eat spicy like I use to I was able to easily eat this.

I use to make homemade chili as well as both enter and judge chili competitions. This cheaper brand surprised me at how good it was. I’m so glad I spent the ridiculous time searching Walmart online for an alternative cheap “hot” chili.

I will definitely be ordering more.

I definitely like this product a lot. Everytime I grocery shop I’m always purchasing a couple cans of these chilli beans. I like these better than any other brands I’ve tried. I use it it goes several different things, chilli dogs, nachos, etc.

I will even eat them by themselves. I recommend this product to my friends and family for sure.

IF YOU LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF SPICE. THESE ARE GREAT! I HAVE HAD THESE IN THE PAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THIS PARTICULAR BRAND AND FLAVOR. PERSONALLY I PREFER THE MEAT WITH BEANS. GREAT COMBO! I USE THESE TO TOP OUR HOT DOGS! FLAVOR, FLAVOR AND FLAVOR!!.

I loved this pasta dish. Its tastes very homemade.

We enjoy Original Skyline Chili, but this is Skyline Chili WITH BEANS, which I ordered without realizing the bean part. It tasted like refried beans. I ordered 4 and returned the 3 unopened cans. I will pay better attention next time and stick to the original version.

This is the PERFECT size/portion! Please keep it around. It is popular bc it is out of stock more than in stock!
