This rich, savory chili textured dish has no chili powder or cumin but does contain white chili (kidney) beans. It is quick and easy to make with most ingredients already in your kitchen. Add corn bread and a salad and you have a filling meal. Tastes great when made ahead, right out of the pot or as a leftover. It is a hit at potlucks too.
