Crockpot White Chicken Chili

Last week I was given a food assignment to bring Crockpot White Chicken Chili to the annual family super bowl party. My older brother hosts this event each year and we celebrate the game with lots of yummy food, conversation and a bit of competition. I usually get to bring chips and dip or an easy appetizer but not this year.

Panic took over when I got off the phone with him.  I hadn’t even heard of white chicken chili let alone ever made it. So I broke out all my cookbooks searching for the perfect recipe to try as I thought I better try one out before I present the dish to a large group of people.

I couldn’t find it in any of my personal cookbooks, but was able to go online to Recipezaar and found a simple and cheap recipe for chicken chili.

I made it and was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to prepare and delicious to eat. I loved the fact that I didn’t have to cook the chicken ahead of time and it was like a one dish bake but in the crockpot, leaving no messy clean up.

I plan to add the recipe to my personal cookbook and will make it again without question.

Simple Ground Beef Chili Crockpot Recipe

This is a simple yet delicious Crock Pot Chili dinner. I find creating a simple ground beef meal in the crockpot can save both time and money.

I can get very lazy in the kitchen at times making it difficult to resist the temptation to just pick up the phone and order dinner.

I have found two solutions to this dilemma.

First I try to always have simple family meals I can pull from the freezer and second crockpot cooking.

If I start my meal first thing in the morning then there is absolutely no way I will let a good meal go to waste no matter how bad my day has been.

This crockpot recipe for chili is easy to prepare and yet another great dinner idea under 5 dollars.
