Cooking Steps
Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.
RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors before serving.
ALTERNATIVELY: Cut one corner of the bag; pour chili into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)
BREAD BOWL: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a 2-4-inch circle into the top of the loaf and remove. Scoop out the inside of the bread to create a bowl. Brush inside of bread bowl with 1 TBSP olive oil or melted butter; bake on middle rack until lightly toasted and warmed through, 7-8 minutes.

Reviews from our home cooks
This chili is amazing! It's thick and meaty. It's exactly what I want chili to be.
The Chili was a bit spicy for me but the husband loved! The bread bowls were fun and delicious, again!
Good flavors, but the bread bowls were a little "clunky" to eat out of. Maybe I will opt for just the chili and come garlic bread next time.
Wish there was 2 bread bowls, definitely enough chili for 2 people
Always a favorite quick meal. The chili was outstanding but also like creamy tomato. Will order again 'cause it's an easy fix when the weather is so hot.
This is one of those "base" foods that families can add lots of healthy veggies and broths to.
Where is the beef. It was definitely not chunky. It was barely there. Very disappointed with the lack of beef. The bread bowls were good.
My husband stated that is was the best chili he has ever had!
Delicious. Brought with us on a camping trip. Was wonderful!
I've had amazing luck with all the soups and such I've tried, Yum.
