Chili is quintessential cold weather cozy food, with roots in the American West, specifically Texas and New Mexico. The earliest chili (or chili con carne) recipes featured just three ingredients – red meat, spices, and chiles. Since its inception, chili has evolved and come to include tomatoes, beans, corn, and onions, along with toppings like shredded cheese and sour cream, to tame the traditionally spicy dish. White chili (aka chile verde) emerged as a milder version of the spicy red classic. Typically made with pork or chicken, spices, white beans, and green chiles, white chili definitely has a welcome spot on our rotation of classic stews.
