This Slow Cooker Ranch White Chicken Chili is an instant favorite! The slow cooker does so much to develop the rich savory broth – it’s my favorite part!
The ranch might seem like an odd ingredient, but a ranch dressing mix is a delicious blend of a variety to herbs and spices, so it makes for the perfect way to add tons of flavor to this dish.
And don’t worry about the chilies! They aren’t spicy, so you won’t end up with chili with a lot of heat. In fact, there’s not any heat in this at all, but that could change instantly with the addition of a sliced jalapeño or habanero or even little ground habanero powder – if you like it spicy! Y’all enjoy!
