    I substitute 1/2 the pork with venison.

    WHITE CHILI

    2 Pablano Peppers
    4 Jalapeno Peppers
    4 Cloves of Garlic
    1 Large Yellow Onions
    1 TBSP Ground Cumin
    ¼ Tsp White Pepper
    49 oz Chicken Broth
    2 small cans of Diced Green Chilies
    1 lb of Bacon
    4 lbs of Ground Pork
    2 large cans of Van Camps Pork & Beans
    2 large cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
    16 oz of Salsa Verde
    2” of large block of Velveeta Cheese

    Remove seeds and stem from Pablano Peppers and chop in small pieces and fry in one of the peppers in a fry pan with no grease. Cook until blacken and blistered.

    Add cooked pepper to food processor along with 2 cloves of garlic 1 onion, 4 jalapeno peppers, white pepper, and ground cumin. Chop fine; add some chicken broth to help blend smooth.

    Add these ingredients along with the diced chilies to the crock pot and ½ of the can of chicken broth. Let simmer.

    Fry the bacon in a frying pan along with the other chopped up pablano pepper and the other two cloves of garlic sliced. Fry bacon until crispy and remove all ingredients and add to the crock pot. Save the grease.

    Add the pork & beans to the crock pot.

    Fry the ground pork in the saved bacon grease. Strain off grease and save. Add cooked ground pork to the crock pot and add the remaining chicken broth to the crock pot.

    Chop the last onion and fry in the bacon grease. When cooked soft, strain off grease and add to the crock pot.

    Add the two cans of cream of mushroom soup, Salsa Verde and Velveeta cheese to the crock pot. Simmer at least until the cheese is melted.

    Yes, I enjoy putting a small anount of cinnamon in my chili. Not too much, but if you get it right you will really enjoy the flavor it adds.

    The bacon and bacon grease always a good suggestion.

    All these recipes look great and good chili is good chili. Just a little trick to add some depth in flavor... I always carmelize my onions separate from my venison. Towards the end I add my tomatoe paste, chili powder, paprika and cumin. Turn the heat up just a little and carmelize the paste with the spice. When it starts to brown a little and some will stick to the skillet I dump it in the crock pot and deglaze the pan with beef stock or if you add beer to your chili you can use a little beer. Give it a try, I picked up that trick when learning how to make real deal Hungarian goulash.

    One suggestion for a different flavor dynamic: My Dad and I like "sweet heat" and use up to 2.5 tbsp of brown sugar with a batch of venison chile (per 1 lb. venison). Get all the spices right then at the very end, add the sugar to taste and finally the hot peppers.

    Usually I'm the only one eating the chili except for my kids, so I can't add the heat until after I dish theirs out.
