This time of year, as I’m sure everyone else does, I crave comfort food. Delicious, slow-cooked, belly-warming comfort food. Fall just brings that out in me and nothing cures that craving better than a hearty bowl of chili. White Chicken Chili to be exact.
So, how’s it taste?
Delicious. I curled up on the couch eating this chili and felt like I needed to be in a lodge somewhere next to a roaring fire. The cumin and red pepper sauce brought such a nice warmth to the dish and I loved the contrasting textures of the crunchy corn and creamy beans. I would forgo the red pepper sauce in the slow cooker and add it to your individual servings instead. Its heat and flavor get lost in the slow cooker and I had to add more in the end. Even if you don’t like your chili spicy hot, I recommend adding in at least a drop or two for enhanced flavor. It really brightens up the dish. I also ate a few bowls topped with shredded sharp cheddar…phenomenal! If parsley is not your thing, you can leave it out or substitute cilantro.
