White Chili

This is a great dish for the winter.  We got this recipe from our friend Buddy in Van Buren.  Jim used this recipe for a “chili cook-off” at his work.  Of course, he won and brought home the trophy!!  Fast forward a decade or so and Grayson entered the same recipe in a “chili cook-off” at work.  He also won first place!!   Hope you enjoy this one!

    • What you will need:
    • Large pot
    • 1 yellow onion, chopped fine
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 teaspoons cumin
    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 3 tablespoons flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 2 cans green chilis 4 oz each (or I use a 7 oz can)
    • 2 cans Navy beans
    • 2 cans Northern white beans
    • 2 cans chicken broth
    • 2 cups chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
    • 2 cups Colby/Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
    • Frito’s
  •  
      Cook the onion in the oil for about 4-5 minutes on medium. Turn off the heat and add the next 5 ingredients and stir well. Then add all of the ingredients but the cheese. Cook for a while – the longer the better – probably for about 25-30 minutes. Melt in the cheese and stir just before serving.
  • We pile Frito’s in a bowl then ladle the chili on top. I, personally, like to add a dollop of sour cream.
