What to Do

In a large pot, combine ground beef and garlic over medium-high heat, and brown 10 minutes.
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.

Place bread bowls on plates and spoon chili into them, allowing chili to overflow.

This bread bowl chilli looks awesome. It would definitely be a talking point at any dinner party we would have but I would be so scared making it, I would worry I would do the bread bowl all wrong and peoples food would end up on their laps. Is the bread bowl hard to do?

The bread bowl is very easy to do! You can pick up a kaiser roll at the bakery and practice on it if you're concerned.

We use the Kaisers for chowders and creamy soups - never thought to spoon chili into them. Had to try and definitely was not disappointed. Made the chili according to your recipe. It was good, but we like a bit more spicy heat - next time I'll add a few hot peppers.

Great idea to use kaiser rolls. I tried to find larger rounded loaves for hungry husband but he settled for 2 kaisers instead. I stick in the slow cooker on weekends so it stays hot and rools in a bag beside pot. A hot stick to your ribs feast.

Those bread bowls work with fully loaded baked potato soup really well..and most any creamy style soup.

so the bread bowls are you just cooking the rolls and then hollowing them out? it dont really say?

just buy the rolls from the bakery if you want. if you have rolls to bake, then do that too (always better with the smell of fresh baked bread in the house too!). but, yeah, just cut off the top and pull the "stuffing" out of the bread bowl so you can serve the chili in there. no additional cooking of the bun necessary. ENJOY! :-)

This is my go to recipe for chili. I use ground turkey or a mix of half ground beef/half ground turkey and triple the amount of chili powder. It has to be the simplest recipe to throw together and the results taste like you worked ever so hard in the kitchen! I skip on the bread bowl and it straight. DELISH!!!
