Best Packaged Chilis of 2025

"I found this chili to be oddly satisfying. Eating it with crackers was a divine experience! I was intrigued by the ingredient list and thought it was a good price, so I decided to give it a try. It has a creamy consistency and a mild chili flavor, which I enjoyed both warmed up and straight from the can. It’s perfect for my emergency pantry and pairs wonderfully with Ritz crackers. I could see adding more ingredients for a heartier chili, but I love it as a dip. Overall, it deserves 5 stars for its taste and versatility."

"I finally found a chili I enjoy! The chunks of meat are substantial, and the meat-to-bean ratio is just right. It has a mild spice level, so I added some cayenne pepper, and that made it perfect for me. It’s thickened with corn flour, which is a plus, and I appreciate the minimal amount of texturized vegetable protein. I will definitely keep some on my shelf as a pantry staple."

"This chili is tasty, though it’s not quite as good as my homemade version. It's quick and easy to prepare—just add cheese! I’ve enjoyed it on a bun, in a bowl, or even on spaghetti. It also works well as a dip. Overall, it's a solid option for a quick meal."

“I love the best quality, best flavor, and best texture of this canned chili I’ve found. It's definitely worth the extra cost.”

“This chili is perfect for a quick meal or snack. I often make nachos with it, and for larger gatherings, I mix it with refried beans, chopped onions, and peppers, then top with cheese. It's a great fit for those cold winter nights!”

“I often pair this chili with Hormel tamales for a quick lunch for my husband and me.”

"I've been a fan of Campbell's Chunky Chili for years. It's easy to pack for lunch, and the combination of meat and beans makes it satisfying with every bite."

"This is absolutely perfect as a side with dinner, a quick and tasty lunch, and great for work! Good stuff and I will definitely buy again!"

"My family enjoys many of Campbell's soups because they are easy to heat and eat or can be eaten straight from the can when camping out. I love that the chili mac goes great on top of baked potatoes for a full meal, and it can also be used on nachos for a filling snack. The choices offered are fantastic, and while the chili mac is made mild, I can spice it up with red hot chilies and ground beef for a more filling meal for two."

"One of the best soups Campbell's makes! It's fantastic with Ritz crackers or for chili dogs! I regularly order cases of this. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already! It's so easy to prepare—just heat it up and eat! It's not thick until you add crackers, and it's quite filling. A half roll of Ritz crackers makes it just about the right amount for a hungry guy."

"I love it! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. I like to add a little Sriracha sauce to spice it up, but even out of the can, it tastes fine."

"I've missed Wendy's Chili for over 12 years since the last restaurant closed. Finding it on Amazon was a delight! It was tasty and satisfying, though some ground beef pieces are a bit chewy. I just add shredded cheese and jalapeños to enhance the flavor. So happy to have it back!"

"I was surprised! This is probably my new favorite. Price aside, it feels like having Wendy's at home. Just remember to heat it properly for the best results. The taste is 100% comparable to the fresh version. It's a gamble at the drive-thru, but with this can, I know what I'm getting!"

"This is one of the best chilis in a can. It's worth the price, and buying in bulk means I always have it for hotdogs or even peanut butter sandwiches. If you haven't tried dipping a peanut butter sandwich in chili during winter, you're truly missing out!"

"As a huge fan of chili, I often try different varieties at restaurants. I found this chili a bit spicier than expected, though it's not advertised that way. Just keep that in mind when you order!"

"I've been a fan of Campbell's chili for many years, but they changed the recipe and now it's not good. Even my dogs refuse to eat it! I reached out to Campbell's about this, but they aren't reverting back to the old recipe, so I need to start making my own chili again."

"Hormel Compleats really come in handy for quick meals. I don't use them regularly, but they're perfect for emergency situations. My favorite is the Turkey and dressing. Just keep your expectations low, and you might find them quite delightful.”

"I think the Meatloaf & Gravy is decent. It’s not gourmet, but it's shelf stable and reasonably priced. I could even eat it cold! It’s a good option for college students or anyone needing quick food."

"I love this product! I can’t find them locally, so I order them online. They taste just like homemade chili to me, a little spicy but really filling with 16 grams of protein. I order them very often!"

"Living in Texas, I can only find this chili on Amazon or rely on family to send it my way."

"I bought this because it's less salty than other brands, but I was surprised to find chunks of canned pork in it. It gives an unusual taste for chili, so I ended up using it over rice instead."

"This chili is hands down the best in a can! I remembered it from long ago and was thrilled to find it on Amazon."

"I really enjoy this chili. I buy it often to make chili mac and cheese, which turns out so delicious. It's also a quick fix for tacos when I add some taco seasoning. You simply must try the chili mac and cheese with this chili—it's super easy to prepare!"

"When I was preparing nachos for dinner, I decided to try this brand of chili for the toppings. My family and I absolutely loved it! The flavor is fantastic and enhances the nacho experience significantly."

"I have sampled many canned chilis, including Stagg Laredo, and honestly, I find it to be the best choice out there. The flavor is richer due to the combination of various peppers, and it has a stronger beef taste compared to others. Plus, it's mild enough for those who are sensitive to spice. I truly believe there’s no better canned chili than Stagg Laredo."
