When sending this for lunch, wrap the bread bowl separately. Warm the chili in the morning before packing in a vacuum bottle. Then all your child has to do is scoop it into the hearty bowl and sprinkle with the cheese that you've packed separately.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetabIe oil or olive oil
- 1 cup chopped sweet red and green pepper
- 2 carrots, peeled or scrubbed and thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb lean ground turkey or beef
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cup frozen corn or canned corn
- 4 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) white kidney beans or great Norther beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 large crusty rolls
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or Monterey jack cheese
Preparation
In saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook red and green peppers, carrots, celery, onion and garlic, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add turkey; cook until no longer pink, 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, corn, chili powder, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Stir in beans; cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Cut out wedge along top of each roll; pull out some of the inside to hollow out "bowl" with side at least 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Spoon in chili and sprinkle with cheese.
