Navy Bean Chili
Two chili recipes in one week, you should feel lucky. This recipe was supposed to be for ‘white’ chili, but my chili didn’t end up looking too white. Alas, it’s called white chili because of the beans that are used, not the end result. So, that makes me feel better. Regardless, the recipe turned out awesome and you can easily switch out the chicken for portobella mushrooms, if you’re a ‘man of the land.’ (We don’t use the word ‘vegetarian’ at Manbque)
This recipe is super easy and super tasty, that’s the Manbque spirit!
