Who would have ever guessed that the best white chili I have ever tasted came from a recipe posted on an Irish company's website? This creamy White Chicken Chili with Aged Chedder from Kerrygold is so rich and good you can almost stand a spoon in it. All you have to do is saute the peppers and onion in a splash of olive oil, add the rest of the ingredients and when it comes to a strong simmer, stir in the cheese. In my 10 inch oven I cooked the vegetables over a full compliment of coals then moved them to a ring around the bottom before adding the liquid. The lid was covered with briquettes, maybe 24 or so, I let it bubble away for 20 minutes before stirring in the cheese. Put that half eaten rotisserie chicken sitting in your fridge to good use and whip yourself up a batch of this cheesy, most comforting, warming chili.
White Chicken chili with Aged Cheddar

1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
