Killer White Chili Recipes

KILLER CHILI

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble and set aside.
• Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat and cook and stir the ground beef until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the bacon and minced garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the red wine, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green bell peppers, celery, and chopped onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir onion mixture into the stock pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a near boil. Mix in the kidney beans, white beans, and black beans. Season with chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, paprika, Italian seasoning, vinegar, basil, dried minced onion, parsley, red pepper flakes, oregano, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring often.

KILLER WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Wash beans. Cover with water and soak overnight.

• 3. In a skillet, melt butter. Sauté chicken and veggies until chicken is done.
• 4. Transfer all to the Crock Pot, using a bit of chicken stock to deglaze the pan (you really want this as it adds just another depth of flavor to your chili).
• 5. Cook on low for 6-hours, covered.
• 6. Just before serving, add cream cheese and let it melt for about 15-minutes.
• 7. Then stir it through your chili.
