Bread Bowl Chili recipe 4554

Bread Tips Choose a hearty bread that feels heavy for its size. 
Pumpernickel raisin, corn rye or sour­dough bread are good choices. 
If the texture of the bread is too soft, the chili will be absorbed too quickly.
Serving idea Serve this chili as a winter warmer lunch. 
Make the chili the night before. 
Reheat just before you are ready to serve. 
Along with a dollop of sour cream, garnish the chili with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.
COOKING TIME
40 minutes
GOOD IDEA For extra spice, add  1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the chill when simmering.
Simply Chili
Of course, this chili can also be served without the bread bowl. 
Serve the chili over rice or noodles to make a complete meal.
A Great Duo
Fill a tread bowl with your favorite chunky beef stew. 
The bread will absorb some of the flavor of the stew, making ror a great accompaniment.
