I've never added tomato sauce, just browned beef, can or 2 of beans (not drained), packet of chili seasoning and chopped tomatoes, if you like spice, rotel (it's chopped tomatoes and peppers). It's good to go.

There are TONS of recipes for "white chili" on www.allrecipes.com - none of them have any tomatoes at all. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, or just no sauce.

Hope it helps!

just simply substitute beef broth for the tomato products. I have also been known to combine a bottle of beer with a pack of onion soup mix. Either method works...& depends on the crowd I'm feeding.

For my chili, I use a mix of canned beans (unless I have time to precook dried beans the night before)....always using a combo of black, red, kidney, white, & pinto. One large onion, some fresh garlic, diced celery, sometimes I add chopped carrot, & a chopped green pepper (or a variety of colors) to my hamburger as I'm cooking it. I use S&P, garlic powder, & some chili powder for seasoning the meat.

Dump the cooked meat/vegie mix, the beans, the broth, a full jar of chili powder, some cumin, some Italian seasoning, some parsley or cilantro, more S&P and garlic powder, & (depending on the crowd) either a poblano or jalapeno pepper....the smaller the pepper/the hotter.

You can use a crockpot or cook on the stove. Using just the broth will make a thinner/souplike batch of chili, but it's tasty & you can always adjust the "heat" by changing up the pepper mix. Good Luck!

I'm sure you've had lots of great responses, as is the custom on this wonderful site! ;-)
My basic chili recipe that I use, especially now with two little ones (5 & 2), involves tomato juice not sauce.
I just brown hamburger (seasoned how you like, we don't use added salt at my house, so it is usually chili, onion, and garlic powder as well as some black pepper, usually about 2-3 lbs, we use the left overs for chili dogs!), add chili beans (yes, I use the canned beans, 3-4 cans just depending on how "beany" you want it), onions (I usually through the onion in while I am browning the hamburger), and then tomato juice to the consistency that you like it. Super easy and always a huge hit with my house!
If you want to get fancier add to it, we used to always have jalepenos in it as well, but children change many things. ;-)
I hope that you find a good recipe, cooking doesn't always have to be difficult to be good!
Best wishes, J.

make white chicken chili

I would suggest just making a soup type base...beef broth or boullion cubes. I add a small can of tomato sauce to my chili, but it is basically a beefy broth with chili spices, not usually a strong tomato flavor...??? For mine I use 5 or 6 cans of beans, drained(light red and dark red kidney beans), a can of diced tomatoes, 4 beef boullion cubes, 2 cans of water,garlic, chili powder, and cumin, then add cooked and seasoned hamburger. Not sure if it's the tomato taste you don't like or if someone can't eat tomatoes, but my kids usually pick the little tomato pieces out. My sister cooks her chili 'til it's thick and mushy almost, but I like mine more soupy. There are a million different recipies for chili...no 2 exactly alike...lol.Just experiment and see what you come up with.
