**Genuine Texas Chili Bread**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 large onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 can (14 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 2 tablespoons chili powder
– 1 tablespoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 pre-baked loaf of artisanal bread
– Shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro for topping
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
4. Pour in the beef broth and bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). While the chili is simmering, slice the top off the pre-baked loaf of artisanal bread and hollow out the center to create a bread bowl. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping.
6. Carefully ladle the hot chili into the bread bowl, filling it to the brim with the warm and savory mixture.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili-filled bread bowl and place it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove the Genuine Texas Chili Bread from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of herbaceous freshness.
9. Serve the chili bread hot, allowing each guest to scoop out a portion of bread with a ladle of the delicious chili, creating a satisfying and comforting meal that’s both delicious and fun to eat.
