Simple Chili and Breadbowls!

Ok so tonights dish was chili found on pg 37. I found a bread bowl recipe online that is really easy and it turned out great. I'll put that at the bottom. So my husband always says he doesn't like chili, but since I do, I made it. It turned out great! In my 5 qt crock pot I cooked it for 3 hours on high. I actually didn't even have to change anything in this recipe (first time!). I give this recipe a 5 because I LOVE chili!

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, browned and drained
1/2 cup dried minced onion or 1 large onion, chopped
1 large can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, with liquid
2 cans (8oz each) tomato puree
1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, with liquid
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, with liquid
1 cup water
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on
high heat 2-3 hours or on low heat 4-6 hours. Serve in bread bowls.
Makes 6-8 servings.

Ok now here's the recipe to make easy bread bowls:

One 1 lb., 13 oz. can of Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (Golden Corn, Wheat, etc.)

1.Heat oven to 350°. Make four 5" balls of foil by crushing four 50"x12" pieces of foil. Flatten tops slightly. Place foil balls on large cookie sheet.

2. Separate dough into eight biscuits. Combine two of the biscuits together and roll into a 6-8" circle. Place dough over a foil ball, shaping gently to fit and make a bowl shape. (Dough should not touch cookie sheet.) Repeat with remaining dough. If you only have the smaller biscuits that make 10 biscuits use 4 or 5 of those biscuits to make the circle.

3. Bake at 350° for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove bread bowls from foil so they do not tear.

4. Place ½ cup of soup or chili in each bread bowl. Top with cheese if desired.

PS: Just to let you know, you'll have chili coming out of your nose after you make this if you're only making it for 2 people. So be prepared to love chili for a while or freeze it for later.
