White beam chili

 I've had this craving for chili for over two weeks now.  A week ago I bought all the stuff to make my white bean chili but between work and other things I wasn't able to make it and the past few days we had a friend staying with us and she can't even look at chili with out getting grossed out, so chili was a no go. I now have a free day, Mr. beam is working and I am by myself for the rest of the night, chili? I think yes!



We  have some hominy, white beans, green taco sauce, sour cream, monterey jack cheese, chicken stock, chicken, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, garlic, onion, celery and corn.




 I drained and rinsed the hominy and white beans. Shredded the cheese , cubed the chicken, and chopped the onion, garlic, celery and corn (well I didn't chop the corn I took it off the husk).


I  cooked the chicken then added the onion, garlic, celery, and corn and let the onions sweat.


 I then added the hominy  and beans and mixed in the green taco sauce.


Then I added the Chicken stock and spices to taste. Once this was done I let it simmer until it became a chili consistency.  To serve I dollop with sour cream and top with the shredded cheese, if I had them I would of also crunched up some tortilla chips in there.

 If you like really spicy chili you'll have to add more of a kick to this. I cannot have a lot of spice (even this mild stuff doesn't sit  very well with me) adding more fresh peppers and change the cheese to pepper jack will turn up the heat a bit :)


This makes way to much for one person to eat so I put some in the fridge for the next day and  some in the freezer for when my craving hits again :)
