During the dog days of summer I’m all about no-fuss recipes that practically prepare themselves. This delicious white bean chili whips up in minutes with just a few basic ingredients, is crock-pot friendly, and makes enough to feed a crowd. It also freezes beautifully which makes it the perfect recipe to include as part of a freezer cooking day, or simply divide it into bags to eat some now and save some for later!
I made it vegetarian friendly (and much lower in calories) by using vegetarian crumbles instead of beef but if your family prefers ground beef, it is delicious either way! I like serving it with some jalapeno corn bread, sour cream and cheddar cheese.
Here is what you need:
1 package vegetarian protein crumbles 1 sweet onion 3 15oz cans white beans 2 15oz can fire roasted tomatoes 1 10oz bag frozen corn 2 4oz cans diced green chilies 1 16oz jar salsa verde 2 packages dry chili mix 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock 3-4 tablespoons buttersour cream & shredded cheddar cheese (optional-for cooking day only)
Step 1: Chop onion , set aside.
Step 2: Melt butter in large saucepan. Brown the vegetarian protein crumbles in the butter; add onions if desired. Set aside (or place onions in raw)
Step 3: Rinse and drain white beans.
Step 4: Combine meat, onions, beans, corn, tomatoes, diced chilies, salsa verde, and chili mix. Add stock if needed for extra moisture.
Step 5: Divide mixture into two gallon-size freezer bags (be sure to label bags first!) Freeze until needed.
Step 6: Cook in slow-cooker for 3-4 hours on low.
Step 7: Serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese and jalapeno corn bread.
