To create this yummy white chili, I adapted three different recipes. It’s mild, so everyone can dig in. People who judge give it ribbons in recipes contests. —Julie White, Yacolt, Washington

I like how easy this recipe is, but I added white corn, diced celery, onion, and green peppers. I like lots of texture in my chili, so with those additions it was great. I also add a dollop of sour cream over each bowl.
