I also have a confession to make...I have never made "real" chili. Like, the red bean kind. My absolute FAVORITE is my sister Nicole's White Chicken Chili - which I make for my family all the time. They request it often, it's that good. So I really haven't had a reason to try anything different.
However, I was doing my weekly meal planning and was scouring through cookbooks for different dinner ideas. I found this recipe in an old church cookbook and decided I would give it a try. It turned out pretty dang yummy! And yet again it has taco seasoning, ha! I have a jar of homemade taco seasoning in my spice cupboard and love it! So feel free to make your own if you don't want to use a store-bought package. And seriously how easy is this recipe?! You just throw everything into a large pot and let it simmer for a little bit and VIOLA! Easy, quick, healthy, versatile meal. You can spice it up by using jalapenos or just stick with the green chilies. Make this yummy dinner for your family tonight!
