Buffalo Chicken Chili

Chili, like most recipes, has many faces. Whether you enjoy classic chili with beans, chili ladled over chili cheese dogs or tossed with spaghetti, they all have their place on the dinner menu.

Helpful Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Chili

• Cannellini beans work best for this chili. Navy beans would likely work well, too. Regardless, don’t skip rinsing the beans.
• You can adjust the amount of heat to your taste using more, or less, hot sauce.
• The dry ranch dressing mix serves to season the chili. Always taste, and make any adjustments to your personal preference at the end of cooking.
• Crumbled bleu cheese or gorgonzola cheese is the crowning to touch to complete the flavor profile. You can read more about how to pick the best bleu cheese on Rachel Ray Mag.

 

 

Dishes to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Chili

A delicious choice to serve with any chili is cornbread. Cornbread with a kick like my Jalapeno Pepper Jack Cornbread or a milder Skillet Honey Cornbread. Garlic bread would be another tasty option as well as a big bowl of fritos or tortilla chips.
