I can't wait to try Lauren's Festive Black Bean Chili recipe. It looks easy and sounds delish. But just to balance things out a bit, I figured I'd share a relatively new recipe that we're diggin' big time.

White Bean Chili

48 oz. jar great northern beans (you know, that giant jar located next to all the canned beans)
16 oz. hot salsa (I use mild when kids are involved)
2 tsp. chili powder
1 cup water
16 oz. cooked and diced chicken
8 oz. white (sensing a trend?) monterey jack cheese, grated

Combine all ingredients in a pot. Cook over low-medium heat until the chili is heated through and the cheese is melted.

Yep, that's it. Pretty simple, huh? Well, that's the way, uh huh, uh huh, we like it.
