Not the Best Chili I’ve Made

Tagged as: American, Cooking With Dan, Disappointment, Recipes

We made this White Chicken Chili (can’t find the exact recipe this is close) for a slow cooker from a Cooking Light magazine I got recently. Although it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t very chicken like. Both Mrs. DanGarion and I agreed that it almost seemed like we were eating refried beans that had chicken [...]
