Do you find yourself craving southern California’s iconic Tommy’s Chili but don’t live near one of their beloved burger stands? This chili has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many, with its perfect blend of spices and rich, meaty flavor.
But fear not, fellow chili lovers – today, we’re going to unveil the secrets to creating a delicious Tommy’s Chili copycat right in your own kitchen.
Get ready to impress your taste buds and wow your family and friends with this savory and satisfying recipe.
When I moved to southern California for college, I met a cute boy in one of my classes (that I eventually married) who absolutely loved Tommy’s Burgers, a simple hamburger loaded with beefy chili.
At the time there were only a few locations of the Original Tommy’s, the original in LA and one just down the road from our college. Now there are 32 in southern California and Las Vegas. They are probably second only in popularity here to In ‘N Out Burgers.
This recipe is for those, like my brothers-in-law, who live in other states but sometimes just need a Tommy’s fix.
