This Southwest White Chicken Chili is probably my favorite “cold weather” recipe. This weekend here in North Dakota we have a predicted windchill of -60. Yes… -60, you did read that right. That is absolutely insane. On days like this all I want to do is curl up with my family, and cook something warm.

In order to reduce dishes I like to do it in this order and make it all in 1 large pan. I also typically double this recipe and plan on feeding our family dinner, filling 1 container for leftovers in the fridge, and 2 freezer bags for additional dinners. Doubled this recipe will feed a lot!

Sounds yummy! I often substitute nonfat plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Would that substitution work for this recipe?
I haven’t tried it, but I think it would work fine to substitute plain greek yogurt. I’ve done that substitution for my hash brown casserole and it turned out great. Let me know if you try it!
