Ben’s at Home

A container of Ben's Chili Bowl chili with beans placed on a kitchen stove next to a stainless steel teapot and a stainless steel pot on the burner.

  • Stovetop: Remove lid and film seal, then pour chili into the saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally until hot (165*F), stirring occasionally. 

    Microwave:  Remove lid and film seal, then place in the microwave oven loosely covered with lid only. Heat until hot (165*F), stirring halfway through heating. 

    Caution: Chili will be hot

  • Stove top: Put a tablespoon of oil in a pan and preheat pan on medium heat until oil shimmers. Open half smoke package and put your desired number of half smokes in the pan. Be careful as oil may splatter. Cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes until the bottom side is golden. Turn half smokes over by using tongs (be careful as oil may splatter). Cook for another 7-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (we recommend using a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of one half smoke). If the pan ever gets dry, add a bit more oil. Remove half smokes and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to remove any excess grease. Place in a hot dog bun with your favorite condiments (we recommend yellow mustard, diced onions, and Ben's Famous Chili Sauce). You can also slice and add our half smokes to your favorite recipe.

  • Oil the grates. Pre-heat grill to 350 degrees (medium heat). Place your desired number of half smokes on the pre-oiled grates and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to let the half smokes burn or come into direct contact with flames. Flip half smokes over using long tongs. Cook for another 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. If half smokes are getting charred, move them off the direct heat. Half smokes should be served golden and not overly charred unless desired. Place in a hot dog bun with your favorite condiments (we recommend yellow mustard, diced onions, and Ben's Famous Chili Sauce). You can also slice and add our half smokes to your favorite recipe.

  • Our original and spicy half smokes are great tasting on a hot dog bun with your favorite condiments. They are also delicious as a breakfast sausage or diced up in your favorite recipes. There is no end to the creative and delicious ways to use our half smokes.

    Pick your favorite Ben’s chili and serve it with nachos, on top of burgers and fries, with rice or quinoa, or by itself in a bowl topped with cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.
