4 fall recipes that put a twist on classic chili

White Chicken Chili

by Shauna Evans from Pleasant Grove, UT

This creamy white chili is a delicious twist on a classic recipe. It’s an easy meal that will warm you up in cooler months. Chicken and white beans add heartiness to the chili. Green chiles and onions add a nice flavor. There is a bit of a kick, so adjust (or omit) the red pepper flakes if you want this to be milder.

With a lighter more soup-like consistency, this recipe is a nice alternative to heavier meat chilies. To save time, use a precooked chicken from the deli. We served this chicken chili with a hot piece of cornbread for a wonderful meal. Here’s the recipe.

Chili Cheese Burritos

by Jamie McKinney from Lindale, TX

These chili cheese burritos are comfort food all the way. They remind us of burritos you can get at a Mexican fast-food restaurant. The ground beef is full of taco seasoning flavor and stuffed inside flour tortillas. Then, they’re smothered in chili and cheese and baked until the cheese is nice and gooey.

Perfect for everyone to enjoy. Here’s the recipe.

Chili Mac and Beef Casserole

by Freda Gable from Vancouver, WA

Meaty and cheesy, this mac and beef casserole is full of flavor. Filled with ground beef and pasta, it’s a very hearty meal. Taco seasoning and cumin add the flavor you associate with a bowl of chili. Once baked, the shredded cheese on top is nice and melted.

And Freda is right, leftovers are just as good. Get the recipe here.
