My Goodness, I love chili!!!!

[Denise]

No cinnamon for me, I absolutely detest cinnamon or nutmeg in savory dishes. I can't even remember the last time I used either one. Last time I made a pumpkin pie?

Ditto Denise! I like nutmeg and cinnamon in sweets, but not savory....very popular in northern Italy, but not with me!

I have heard cinnamon, just a tad is good. I tried it and dh knew immediately

White Bean Turkey Chili with Cinnamon, Allspice, Nutmeg, all the favorite, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, peppers, onions, celery, broth, 1 can tomatoes, but also cider vinegar. Yes, it has a sweet flavor, but HOT. Even my picky neighbor loved it last night. Very unique, I just posted it. It adds a warming flavor, but not SWEET. I was very surprised the first time I made this. It isn't as firery hot, but still spicy.

I want to eat the screen NOW yum

My neighbor swore he wouldn't like it. Said NO WAY, chili is beef and beans, etc. Didn't want to try it. Five bites ... and wow, he was hooked. He loved it. the first time I was so skeptical. Then I tasted it. That was about 10 years ago. I had added chocolate before and a little cinnamon, but this was the first dish that had quite a bit. I'm not hooked at the sweet/savory blend.

I am going to make this one for sure! I saved the recipe and will work it in one of my menus soon. I have been looking for a great white chili for a while - this might hit the spot!

Of course, playing around with it you can go too far.
Years ago, a neighbor of mine invited everyone in our building to have some of his homemade chili (at my house, BTW--somehow I always ended up washing dishes in those days). Well, the dish he brought over was a very nice stew of eggplants, tomatoes, corn, and garbanzo beans, but there was not a chili to be seen--it didn't even have bell peppers. Another friend of ours, who'd lived in California, was absolutely furious that he called it chili. I admit it was a nice dish, but I wouldn't have called it chili either.

I make our chili with ground round and beans. Just a pinch of red pepper flakes because we are hot/spicy wimps. Sometimes we add shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream to eat with tortilla chips. Other then that it is a big slice of crusty bread with butter! YUM!!
