As temperatures begin to cool and back-to-school season kicks in, shoppers are starting to crave cozy, hearty meals, and Costco is bringing back a fan-favorite prepared food just in time.
The Kirkland Signature Beef Chili has once again been spotted in Costco’s prepared foods section, according to Instagram account Discovering Costco.
The returning warehouse favorite gives shoppers an easy dinner option without the effort of making their own homemade batch from scratch.
The chili delivers on the home-cooked vibe, as it's packed with beef, beans, onions, green bell peppers, and seasoned tomato sauce, and topped with shredded cheddar cheese and parsley.
And seeing it back on shelves seems to signal the start of comfort food—and soup—season.
While the dish has earned a reputation as a beloved prepared food at the warehouse giant, like many Costco favorites, it has also sparked plenty of opinions.
In a Reddit thread from seasons prior, one likened the taste to Wendy’s chili, which could go either way, but in this case, the user followed up with, "and I like Wendy’s chili.”
Another expressed, “It’s a good chili," adding that it's loaded up on the beef: "More beef than anything else.”
However, someone else argued, “It’s a middle of the road chili. Lacks a lot of spice and seasoning, likely because they need to cater to a broad group of customers with varying tastes. Like any prepared food. You’re right, plenty of beef.”
Back in 2023, a common complaint was that the chili lacked enough beans, though it is said to include pinto beans and kidney beans, as well.
Many were in agreement that it’s “not the best,” but also “not bad,” serving as a good starting base for other recipes and dishes, including nachos and chili dogs.
Parade even suggests pairing it with the infamous food court hot dog.
“If you add it with the Costco mac & cheese, it’ll make a really good chili Mac. It’s been my go to meal this winter,” another customer chimed in.
The value is where it truly shines, as "each container holds approximately 4 pounds of chili, providing enough for 8 servings," per Warehouse Runner, sold at $3.49 a pound for an approximate cost of $12.99.
One customer confirmed that they always “make two batches of chili with it," noting, "I break up the big chucks of beef and add extra fixings to make it taste like what I would make from scratch. So basically a meal starter. 10/10 recommend that route.”
Despite the mixed reviews, another thread highly recommended the chili, adding, “The Costco beef chili is incredibly good!!!!”
“It’s unreal how good it is,” someone else complimented, with many stating another perk is that it freezes well for an easy meal during busy nights.
Whether you’re getting it to eat straight out of the container or dress it up at home, Costco’s chili is once again giving members an easy excuse to skip the cooking and grab a comforting favorite instead!
