Whenever the temperature dips and soup season arrives, I find myself using my crockpot even more than usual more. I am convinced that this slow cooker white chicken chili is the reason crockpots exist. No stress. Just tender chicken, hearty beans, spicy chile, and a house that smells divine.

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

This slow cooker white chicken chili is a creamy, hearty soup filled with tender chunks of savory chicken, soft white beans, green chile, and plenty of spices. I’ve tried more than my fair share of chili recipes, even a fair number of slow cooker chilis.

And, given the choice? I’ll take a slow cooker chili every time. Low heat over long hours is the only magic in this recipe. But, dang does it do the trick. It transforms all the ingredients and flavors into an incredible, hearty dinner that we keep coming back to. I like to serve it up alongside a batch of my favorite easy drop biscuits, hot and fresh and still steaming from the oven.

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili Recipe

And, when I think of slow cooker meals, there’s not much about this one that I could change. It’s simple enough to throw together ahead of time for a weeknight meal. But, the experience of eating it is one that you’ll want to slow down and savor.

I really only have one tip specifically for this slow cooker white chicken chili recipe. Take the chicken breasts out of the crock pot to shred them. You’ll never have to go fishing for a stubborn chunk that you missed. And, it lets you more easily work with the meat. I used to always shred my meat in the slow cooker, but now I never do.

I’ve listed all of my family’s favorite toppings as optional ingredients in the recipe card. But, I’m always curious. What will you add to this chili to make it your own? Be sure to let me know in the comments how it turned out!

Imagine sinking your spoon into a bowl of creamy, savory comfort food heaven—Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff. The slow-cooked beef absorbs every ounce of flavor, making each bite a deep, comforting indulgence.

Tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef slowly simmers in a rich, velvety sauce made with a delicate blend of seasonings, all brought together with tangy sour cream and cream cheese. Perfectly paired with egg noodles or mashed potatoes, this dish offers the ultimate cozy meal that practically cooks itself.

I find it so interesting that so many countries have a stroganoff recipe. It originated in Russia, but in case you missed it, there are versions I’ve had in America, Italy and Cade says it’s a huge deal in Brazil, though their version is much more tomato based with cream. I want to try that way now.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is loaded with flavor and each ingredient adds a layer of flavor needed to make the best stroganoff. Here is a list of everything you’ll need:

• Beef Stew Meat: look for a package labeled as stew meat or grab some chopped sirloin
• Seasonings: Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Kosher Salt and Black Pepper
• Baby Bella Mushrooms: the best part of a stroganoff in my opinion
• Beef Broth: becomes the base of the creamy sauce
• Dijon Mustard: adds flavor and helps tenderize the beef
• Worcestershire Sauce: adds rich umami flavor
• EZ Gel by Cornaby’s: used to thicken the sauce, cornstarch can also be used
• Cream Cheese: adds richness and creaminess to the sauce
• Sour Cream: adds creaminess and a little tang to the sauce
• Egg Noodles: any type of pasta can be used or mashed potatoes
• Fresh Thyme and Parsley: adds a pop of freshness

The measurements and details for all the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

New Mexico Green Chile Stew

This is the ultimate comfort food.

Filled with that irresistible pork, potatoes, and roasted green chile, this stew is what I dream of when the weather starts cooling off each fall. And before any other native New Mexican can correct me, I am well aware of the ridiculousness of actually claiming the BEST NM Green Chile Stew, because technically, I do love them all.

That said, this is my family’s best green chile stew, and we love it more than all the others. Made with chunks of tender pork and potatoes, spicy hot green chile, and a savory broth that you’ll be dipping your tortillas into and scraping the bowl clean, this is it for me.

Over the years, I’ve made Green Chile Stew with many different kinds of meat: pork, ground beef, steak, and chicken. However, this Green Chile Stew is hands-down our favorite.

Not that I won’t happily try YOUR green chile stew recipe if you send it to me! I don’t discriminate between green chile recipes. We love adding green chile to our enchiladas, burritos, tacos, soups, and scrambled egg skillets. If the dish includes green chile, my boys will dive straight into it.
