White and Green Chili



Beans are very nutritional and they "stick to the ribs". This is a very easy and quick recipe that my family loves - and a salad goes well with this dish.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef or for a leaner chili use ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
2 15-ounce cans Northern or white beans, rinsed and drained
1 14-ounce chicken broth
1 16-ounce jar prepared green salsa
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (you can never have enough cilantro!)
1/2 cup sour cream
tortilla chips for garnish
pickled jalapeƱos for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add meat loaf mix and onion; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, for 5 minutes, until no longer pink. Drain any fat. Add beans, broth, salsa and cumin. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
2.
Stir in 3 tablespoons cilantro. Divide among 4 serving bowls. Top each serving with sour cream and garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Makes 4 servings.
