I like meals that are simple to prepare, yet offer maximum taste. Served in hallowed-out rolls, this hearty chili offers extra zip with two kinds of meat, beans and jalapeno pepper. Sometimes I serve the chili in one large round bread loaf. -Tonya Burkhard, Davis, Illinois

BREAD BOWL CHILI

This hearty beef chili recipe is served up in individual Kaiser rolls.

Provided by Butch Fertic

Categories     Beef

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (15-ounce) cans red kidney beans, undrained
1 ounce envelope onion soup mix
3 tablespoons chili powder
8 kaiser rolls

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, combine ground beef and garlic over medium-high heat, and brown 10 minutes.
  • 2. Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, onion soup mix, and chili powder; mix well and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, cut a 1-1/2-inch circle off the top of each roll and remove bread circles. Reserve circles to serve with chili for dunking. Hollow out rolls, leaving 1/2 inch of bread around sides, creating bowls.
  • 4. Place bread bowls on plates and spoon chili into them, allowing chili to overflow.
  • 5. Note: Make sure to have sour cream, chopped onions, and shredded cheese on hand to use as chili toppers.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality, crusty bread for the bread bowls. This will help them hold their shape and flavor.
  • Make sure the bread is completely hollowed out before filling it with chili. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  • Brush the inside of the bread bowls with melted butter or olive oil before filling them with chili. This will help to keep the bread crisp.
  • Fill the bread bowls with chili just before serving. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  • Top the chili with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions before serving. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Bread bowl chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a party or a casual dinner.
