Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Hollow out the centers of the bread rolls, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread. Brush the outer edges with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and salt, and bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy.
  2. 2. In a skillet, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, then sauté until softened. Stir in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. 3. Spoon the chili into the bread bowls, top with cheddar cheese and optional sour cream, and garnish with chopped green onions.
