Wendy’s famous homestyle chili will be coming to grocery store aisles later this spring.

The fast food chain announced a partnership this week to package its signature comfort food in a can that will hit shelves across the country.

According to the company, each can will contain 29 grams of protein, and be made with “savory all-natural beef, and the perfect mix of peppers, beans and a rich tomato-based sauce.”

“Wendy’s Chili has been a beloved menu item since our beginnings in 1969,” marketing chief Carl Loredo said in the announcement. “We’re thrilled about the partnership with Conagra Brands and to have the opportunity to bring our brand’s iconic chili flavor to even more fans. When the Wendy’s chili craving hits, you now have two delicious ways to get your fix — at retail stores or in our restaurants.”

Conagra Brands’ portfolio of grocery store brands include Birds Eye, Duncan Hines, Healthy Choice and Marie Callender’s.

Juliette van de Walle, an executive at the Chicago-based company, said: “We worked closely with Wendy’s culinary team to ensure we brought through the indulgent flavors and delicious ingredients of the chili that has been a long-time staple on the Wendy’s menu.”

Wendy’s — known for its freshly prepared square-shaped burgers and chocolate Frosty shakes — was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio. Their moderately priced chili has been on the menu since the early days when its enterprising owner reportedly came up with the idea to cut down on waste from leftover hamburger meat.

The chili will have a suggested retail price of $4.99 per can.
