Recipe Note

This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.
