Cannellini Chili is one of our Fall and Winter favorite recipes. It smells so good cooking on the stove or in the crockpot. The perfect comfort food. Sometimes I prepare the recipe the night before, refrigerate it, and then the next day, pop it into the crockpot for about 4 hours on low. Happy to share this recipe with you! Enjoy!

    Cook's Tip: You can cook this in the crockpot after you have sauteed the vegetables and added the seasonings. Just transfer it to the crockpot and cook on low for 2 or 3 hours. If you use cooked leftover pork, just skip the meat browning step, and add the cooked pork to the vegetables after they have sauteed and stir it in.
