White Chili

Tonight's supper is going to be White Chili. It is a reasonably priced meal to make and full on flavor and nutrition.
1 # ground Turkey can use left over diced chicken as well ($1.29)
1 lg onion diced ($.20)
1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup ($.89)
1/2 c sour cream (can use fat free) ($.50)
2 t chicken bullion ($.15)
2 c water
4 oz diced or shredded pepper Jack cheese ($1.00)
2 cans beans, I used a pint jar each of while beans and pink beans but the recipe called for navy beans ($1.50)
1 to 2 t black pepper ($.15)
1 t cumin ($.10)
1 t oregano ($.05)
1 T magic rub (recipe below) ($.25)
1/2 t salt ($.01)

Brown the meat with the onion/ Add all ingredients except the beans to the crock and mix well. Add browned meat and the beans that have been drained and rinsed well. Mix well and set crock to high to serve in a few hours or low if you want it later. Stir well once you see the cheese is melted to incorporate that. Serves 5

I figured this meal to cost under $1.20 per serving.

Magic Rub mix
½ c smoked paprika
¼ c salt
1/3 c brown sugar
2 T mustard powder
¼ c chili powder
¼ c ground cumin
2 T black pepper
¼ c granulated garlic ( a tablespoon less if using powder garlic)
2 T chili pepper flakes
