She also uses poblano peppers and salsa verde for an extra flavor kick.
Pile on the toppings.
Cincinnati chili is big on toppings, Gerard says, and so is her white chicken variation.
And then if Im feeling very spicy, Ill do some sliced jalapenos with some plain Greek yogurt.
Bring on the bread to sop it up.
Warm bread is a must with chili, says Gerard.
It just brings me back to my childhood, and thats always cozy to me.
Get comfy around the fireplace.

Everyone is feeling satisfied and warm inside, she says.
