Some say you can have your cake and eat it, too...I say eat your chili and the bowl, too! I work the "graveyard shift" at the post office in Portland.

BREAD BOWL CHILI BUNS



Bread Bowl Chili Buns image

I have made this many times for a Super Bowl get together. I serve the chili mixture in a medium crockpot to keep warm, serve the onions, sour cream, green peppers and cheese and whatever else you want to serve, on the side in large bowls, hollow out the buns, cover with plastic wrap and place the buns on a plate, and let everyone make their own "chili bowl"! The ingredients listed are just the basics to the chili recipe, of coarse you can add in other ingredients as desired. The amounts stated are good for up to 8 sandwiches, you double the recipe to serve more. The chili is best made a day ahead and refrigerated, just warm over the stove before serving.

Tips for Making the Best Chili in a Bread Bowl

  • Use a good quality chili recipe. This is the foundation of the dish, so make sure it's flavorful and delicious. You can use your own recipe or find one online or in a cookbook.
  • Choose the right bread bowl. The bread bowl should be sturdy enough to hold the chili without getting soggy. A sourdough or French bread bowl works well.
  • Hollow out the bread bowl. Use a serrated knife to cut off the top of the bread bowl and then scoop out the inside, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.
  • Toast the bread bowl. This will help it to crisp up and make it less likely to get soggy. You can toast the bread bowl in the oven or on a grill.
  • Fill the bread bowl with chili. Once the chili is cooked, carefully ladle it into the bread bowl. You can top the chili with cheese, sour cream, or other desired toppings.
