There's no such thing as a bad day for a bit, hot, spicy bowl of chili-- and there are few things that are more satisfying on a cold Minnesota spring day.

There are also few things that can be made more different ways. On Super Bowl Sunday a few months ago I made a batch of White Chicken Chili (recipe) and it was fabulous. I'm also a lover of a more traditional pot of goodness full of beef, beans, tomato sauces, and absolutely whatever else you want to throw in it.

I was once a judge of a chili making contest and one of the entries was a gator chili. It didn't taste like chicken. More like beef.
