Chili in a Bread Bowl
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 14-15oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 2 green chilies, minced
  • 2 14oz cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • grated cheddar cheese, optional for toppings
  • 1 red onion, minced, optional for toppings
  • a roll of bread for each person you're serving
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, over medium high heat, saute the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion starts to get soft and translucent.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned.
  3. Add the diced oregano, cumin, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, diced tomatoes, and green chilies. Mix well, then cover and lower the heat. Let it all simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Now add the beans. Stir to combine. Let it simmer again for at least 30 minutes - or until you're happy with it and are ready to eat.
  5. While the chili is simmering, prepare your bread bowl. Cut horizontally across the bread roll, about 2 inches down. This is your lid.
  6. Then using a spoon, a knife, or your fingers, carve out the middle of the bread. Be sure to leave an edge of about ¾ inch so that you don't have any seepage.
  7. When the chili is done, spoon it into the bread bowl. Top with cheddar cheese and raw onion, if using.
  8. Serve and watch everyone be satisfied and happy.
