How to thicken white chili?

The beauty of this recipe is that the cornmeal thickens the chili as it simmers in the slow cooker. If you cook the chili as long as directed, it will thicken up at the end. If you prefer an even thicker chili, you can whisk in a cornstarch slurry and bring it to a simmer to thicken it more.
