This was wonderful. I used a can of pinto beans(drained) puree'd in the blender to thicken it and I topped each bowl with cheese before serving rather than stirring it into the whole pot. Along with cornbread and a salad, this made a great meal!

Was looking for a recipe to use up ground pork, what a find! This is really great! Have made this many times since. I only use one can of green chiles, 2 cans of beans and add an extra cup of broth (or 2). Not thick like chili, more like a soup. Might try thickening it like others suggest, but it is soooo good as is. Never been tempted to use ground turkey either, the ground pork is excellent and a nice change of pace. Make sure you cook the cumin and oregano for the 2-3 minutes like the directions say.

Some changes that worked well for me: I used Morningstar crumbles instead of ground pork, and vegetable broth and it was a surprisingly "meaty" meal! I added about 1 cup of frozen corn and instead of adding chiles in the beginning, I used Pepper-Cheddar cheese (but I bet Pepper-jack would work well, too)--that idea was from the "White Chili" recipe submitted by Tracy. Then I served it with Jiffy boxmix cornbread I threw in the oven as it was simmering and it made a decent, easy meal. Update: it also freezes well! I froze about half of the leftovers even though I thought the cheese might reheat poorly, but if anything it was better, the flavors came together more or something.

I substituted ground beef for the pork & only used one onion and 1/4 tsp. oregano. You may want to add one tsp. of cumin & taste the chili before adding more, just to get it as spicy as you like. I found it a little too intense with the 2 tsps. & just added an extra 8 oz.container of chicken soup. It did make the recipe more like a soup than a chili but the flavor was fine.

Everyone was really dubious about this recipe - it really doesn't look very appetizing. But it turned out great! It truly is better the next day though so keep in mind. Otherwise it's a great variation on chili and seems much healthier.

This chili has the best flavor! I only used 1 onion instead of 2. I also used some leftover chicken instead of the pork. The Monterey Jack cheese I used had jalepenos in it which spiced things up a bit! I was expecting it to be a bit thicker, but adding flour and water to the chili at the end fixes that! I will definately be making this one again! Thanks for a great recipe!

I was skeptical, I must say. Iwas ready to come back and give this 3 stars the night we ate it. However warmed up the next day this was amazing! Made the best chili-burgers ever with leftovers. Kids did not care for it, but hubby and I enjoyed. Used a can of pintos with jalepenos with GN beans and also pork sausage instead of just ground. Make ahead it is surely better the next day!

This has become a staple in our house. My husband (the picky eater) loves it. I use ground chicken instead of pork and make my own broth with chicken boullion powder (adding more powder than needed for extra flavor). I use a little cornstarch at the end to thicken and it turns out perfect every time! Great recipe!

This was so good! I hadn't heard of white chili before and I thought I'd give this a try. I used 2 cups of chicken broth,instead of the 4 cups in the recipe, to make the chili thicker. And I used ground turkey in place of the pork. This recipe was so simple and the result was just a great chili! Thanks Shirley.

I used the suggestion of making it the day before to let it season over night. It was better the next day. But it is a wonderful recipe. I added some chicken with my broth which made it thicker. I don't feel it was too much cheese. Next time I may try some hot pepper cheese for a granish. This is a real keeper!

Excellent!!! And extremely easy. Used ground chicken instead of pork -- also used only one can of broth (14.5oz) and doubled the beans, based on the suggestion of another rater. Next time I'll double the batch, as this ratio only provided 4 meal size servings.

We had a Yard Sale with friends on a cold November day. I wanted to prepare something "easy" to warm everyone up. They LOVED it!! In fact, it was ALL eaten within 30 minutes and I didn't even get a bite! I served it with corn bread. Excellent, easy recipe

Quick and easy recipe. Great dish for a cold winter day. Loved the flavor, however if you have a tendency to get heartburn, you might want to avoid. I might use a little less green chilis and onions next time.

This recipe was REALLY good. I couldn't conceptualize it prior to tasting it which is unusual for me. What a pleasant surprise. We, however, are not spicy people and with four kids I opted to leave out the green chilis. The meal still had flavor yet was mild enough that I didn't have a single complaint! Quite uncommon! THANKS!

YUM!!! This is good! My husband and I ate the entire pot. Okay, he ate most of it, but I ate my share too! This is delicious, and I actually used ground turkey, not having ground pork. But yum! What a good recipe!

Really good! My husband is a real porkmeister, so he used cut up pork chops, bacon, and kielbasa in addition to the ground pork. This is some seriously porky stuff....

YUM!!! I can't get over how great this chili is! I reduced the amount of chicken broth I added by about 1/2 cup to make a thicker chili and I let it "season" a day in the fridge before serving! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
