"Wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili."
-the dying words of Kit Carson

The refrigerator light goes on...

Compare this to the original White Chili. There’s really not much difference and traditional chili, like many Mexican / Southwestern recipes, can actually be pretty good for you. The removal of the chili powder and the Tabasco as GERD triggers and reducing the amount of milk make this more GERD friendly.

Low-fat White Cheddar

It can be difficult to find a low-fat white cheddar cheese and you can use low-fat Monterey Jack or regular low-fat cheddar. Kraft makes a good version that is marketed under the Cracker Barrel� brand. It is labeled "made with 2% milk, Reduced Fat."
