Disney Released Walt Disney’s Favorite Chili Recipe And I’m Making It Today
D23 (Disney’s official fan club) just released Walt Disney’s favorite chili recipe, and I can’t wait to make it for myself!
Walt was raised in the midwest, and so he ate like a typical midwest guy — Meat and Potatoes.
One of his favorite things to eat, according to his wife, Lillian, was chili. She said he would order it at luxury restaurants, the Disney Commissary, and she would make it for him at home.
Straight out of the Disney Archives, and labeled as “Walt’s Favorite Foods,” is this very chili recipe.
So sit back, put on one of your favorite Disney+ movies, grab your most comfy fuzzy blankets, and enjoy a bowl of Walt’s favorite chilli.
