This is more a method versus a recipe I guess. I love chili and who doesn't. My friends love chili, but sometimes I like it as a side dish rather then a big bowl of chili. So why not do something easy. We have all seen chili or soups in bread bowls, so why not an appetizer bread bowl. Well, I made mini bread bowls once, 38 of them, from scratch, what a pain. But what a success. I stuffed them with white bean chili, another time black bean chili. So, I'm not gonna give you any chili recipes, I would rather have you use your favorite one. There a hundreds of great recipes out there. Fill these small bowls with some grated cheese, thick chili and topped with sour cream which make an amazing easy appetizer and a big hit at parties. 2-3 bites or use a fork they are fun and get gobbled up before you can put more out. Ingredients:
16 dinner rolls (small round rolls) |
4 cups chili (about 1/4 cup of chili per roll, use your favorite chili for this, just not a thin chili it needs to) |
olive oil flavored cooking spray |
1 cup monterey jack cheese (or any favorite) |
12 tablespoons sour cream |
4 tablespoons cilantro, fresh and chopped as a garnish |
Directions:
1. Chili - Prepare your chili. Your favorite recipe, store bought, or whatever you like best. This is about the small bowls so, so please use any recipe for this - just as long as it is thick. A lot of juice doesn't work well for this.
2. The bowls - Take the roll and run a sharp knife along the top in a circle to cut a small portion of the top off. Now take a fork to scoop out some of the filling. Just think like your are cleaning out a pumpkin for carving. Same thing.
3. Spray the inside and outside with Pam Olive Oil spray or just brush with olive oil or use an atomizer. Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden brown and slightly crisp. Just enough to make a light crust.
4. Stuff - Fill with a tablespoon of your favorite cheese, I like pepper jack, but use anything you like, then top with your chili and a dollop of sour cream and garnish with cilantro.
5. Just enjoy! Bite into them or use a fork, they are savory, easy, quick and most importantly make wonderful appetizers.
