Steak 'N Shake Chili with Beans


Opening the can this really smells like Hormel (that's a bad thing). The color kind of looks like vomit. It's not meaty brown, it's not red from the spice or oil, it's more like a medium dark tan or almost rust colored. You can see chunks of meat and lots of beans.

After cooking in the microwave it's two colors.. part of that vomit color (which is the less hot portion) and the outer part of it is dark like diarrhea (the warmer cooked part).

Flavor is average at best. There's a mild heat that you can notice from the peppers. Nothing exotic in here like cinnamon, cloves, or other stuff like that. Pretty straight forward chili. Mushy texture, not quite as thick as a milkshake, but it made me think of one.

Going to the website on the back of the package one will notice how extremely bad it is. News button? Gives an error message. Contact button? Reports a fatal error. Administrator button? Why would an end user need to see that.

Not something I'll be ordering again. This pretty much follows my thoughts about actual Steak 'N Shake locations. I wrote a rant on Yelp! about one that opened up in my area. You can order through their website.  They advertise a bunch of burgers.. Guacamole Steakburger? Jalapeno Crunch? Western BBQ? Yes please. They have NONE of that. They only have burgers and burgers with cheese. Maybe bacon also, but none of the cool burgers they advertise. I checked in 2016, and also in 2017 and they still haven't fixed their menu. False advertising. More like Steak and Fake.

Ingredients: water, beef, beans, modified cornstarch, chili seasoning (chili peppers, spices [including paprika and spice  extratives], cumin, dehydrated garlic, salt), salt, soy lecithin.
