Creamy White Chili = heavenly! At one of my bridal showers thrown by one of my best friends Kaleena and her mom Sandra they had all the guests give me a recipe card of their favorite recipes to put into a cute little recipe book. Such a fun idea! This was one of the recipes. This chili is fabulous!!! It’s a nice change to traditional chili, has great flavor, and pretty simple to make. I’ve made this over and over and anyone who has tried it falls in love at first bite!

Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
The "pinch" of cayenne will determine the spice level of the chili. I, personally do not enjoy really spicy foods therefore I tend to add a "small" pinch, it's entirely up to you. The perfect amount for me is a little less than 1/4 tsp. Also, be sure to simmer for the 30 minutes, if you don't it will be really runny and very thin.

I ended up making this for Christmas and I really liked it. I will for sure be making it again! Thanks for the suggestion! =)

I was wondering the other day if you made it. In fact, I was specifically wondering on Christmas Eve because that’s when I made it! I’m so glad you liked it – I should have mentioned it almost always needs to be doubled or tripled.
