Early Prep for Holiday Cooking

Nicole has posted a fav “holiday recipe” over at Autumn People and asked for personal favs of our own. So, I’ll pass the idea on. Post a fav of your own too, if you will.

Super Easy Christmas “Chili”

Shredded leftover turkey–just use however much will fit in the pot you use along with the other ingredients
1 yellow onion, chopped and sautéed
2 cloves of garlic, minced and sautéed
1 large can of green enchilada sauce
2 small cans of chopped green chilis
1 can of white hominy
1 can of canellini beans (“white” beans)
1 can of Rotels, your fav flavor (I like the habanero Rotels, but the rest of my family finds it too spicy)
Edit: add water to almost an amount equal to the green enchilada sauce. Adjust to your “stewish” preference. If you used the liquid from the hominy and beans, you might need less water.

Dump it all in a crock pot and just let it go. When it’s bubbling nicely, turn to low and let it simmer.

I like to serve it with tortilla chips on the side and cheese and a few chopped peppers on top/stirred in. Seranos or jalapeños complement the rest pretty well, IMO.

    1. I forgot–but will rectify–one small part of the recipe: add water to almost an amount equal to the green enchilada sauce. Amount of water adjustable to taste, of course.
