*Chili In A Bread Bowl*

Hello everyone! I have been very busy today. Not only did I spend time with my grand daughter and son,I get to have my grand daughter for the night. She keeps grandpa pretty busy too. Back to the recipe. I chose this one because one of my friends today suggested a chili recipe. You can prepare the chili in the cooler part of the day, and refrigerate it till its time to heat back up and make the bowl while the chili is warming up. If you like cheese, sprinkle a bit of shredded Cheddar on the top of the chili. Well enjoy.until tomorrow.
