"Alice raised 6 children so she is an expert at cooking up easy meals. She uses 1 can of cannelini beans and 1 of kidney beans. I liked this chili even though I had never thought of cannellini as being a "chili bean." They are excellent in this chili. Actually, I like the 2 cans of beans called for in the recipe to be cannellini."

My changes just include using pinquito beans for the flavor, along with the recommended can of Rotel's tomatos. Otherwise, this was so good, there was nothing left for lunches. The Skinny Mini Peanut Gallery hogged most of it, spooning the chili over tortilla chips.
