The Wendy’s staple, featuring “savory all-natural beef, and the perfect mix of peppers, beans, and a rich tomato-based sauce,” will also be available to purchase online.

The chili is one of Wendy’s most classic menu items and has been a mainstay since the restaurant’s early days, according to the company’s history. The recipe was hatched from the need for a “sustainable solution.”

Rather than toss its leftover burgers, founder Dave Thomas combined them with “vegetables, chili beans and a dash of spice,” according to the restaurant’s website.

“Wendy’s Chili has been a beloved menu item since our beginnings in 1969,” Carl Loredo, global chief marketing officer for The Wendy’s Company, said in a statement.

“When the Wendy’s chili craving hits, you now have two delicious ways to get your fix – at retail stores or in our restaurants,” Loredo said.
