Variations

I made this recipe exactly by the recipe and it was great. The second time I made it I added three slices of peper jack cheese and it was terriffic. Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I want to suggest a couple of possible ways to reduce the sodium in this recipe. Salt is an ingredient in this recipe. You could eliminate it and then the salt could be added to taste at the table by each person. Another suggestion is to drain the beans, but also rinse them to get rid of any additional salt remaining on the beans after draining. Hope these ideas will help you as you plan your meals with lower sodium in mind.

The white American cheese is what makes it so good and buttery tasting. It was thin like a soup, not a Chili so I ended up thickening it up. I also used double the chicken the recipe called for and added Chili powder for some heat. I would make it again with these changes. Nice meal in a bowl!

The chili was very good! But I didn't use all the cheese the recipe called for (only because I didn't have it) and I also put in some red pepper flakes to give it some heat! Was I big hit! I will be making it again soon.

This was fabulous! We will make it again!!!

I don’t know about you, but there are times when I need something sweet. NEED it. In a perfect world, I would always have doughnuts on hand, because, well, they are my favorite. It’s probably a good thing that they aren’t readily available to me, because my waistline would be in serious trouble if I had an endless supply. But, there is a time and place to indulge, and the other day I gave myself permission to do just that.
