This chili recipe has been an Autumn favorite of my family's for the last 4 years now, and it never gets old. The flavors blend together perfectly to make a rich, creamy and satisfying soup. The total prep and cooking time is only 35 minutes, so you can whip it up on a busy night. Serve this meal when you have friends or family for dinner, and you will be sure to impress them.
It makes great leftovers the next day...if your family hasn't gobbled it all up!

~Instead of monterrey jack try mozarella or gouda.
~To add a little kick, try chipotle chili powder instead of regular.

This is also a hearty dish. We had this one 2 days in a row. I would say the 2nd day was even better than the first. I had baked a chicken, there was leftovers from that so instead of the chicken tenders, I just used the breast of the chicken and other white parts. I told Dad to bring home Mexican cheese but he thought I meant cheddar, so we had a mixture of cheddar and another white cheese. Still good. MOM
