Special Precautions and Tips: - If you don't have any great northern beans on hand, you can substitute another type of white bean, such as cannellini beans or navy beans. - If you want to add more heat to the chili, you can use a hotter pepper sauce. - Be sure to simmer the chili long enough so that the vegetables are tender and the flavors have had a chance to develop.
