My friend who is currently at the Air Force War College gave me a wonderful Christmas gift: a copy of the War College annual cookbook, which contains hundreds of recipes submitted by the students and their spouses. It’s an amazing cookbook.
The first thing I tried was one of the White Chili recipes. I modified it a bit, of course (cuz that’s what I do). It was so good. It makes a lot, but didn’t last too long in our house.
Then I made the mistake of running it through the nutrition calculator. 608 calories per 1 1/4 cup serving isn’t bad, is it? Oh well…it’s worth it!

Quick Notes
This is great with blue corn tortilla chips. And the kids say I have to warn every one that it’s really spicy.
