Ingredients

1 Large sourdough bread bowl

1 Medium jalapeno pepper, diced

12 ounces Lean ground beef

2 teaspoons Olive oil

2 Yellow onions, chopped (about two cups)

1 Medium green bell pepper, chopped (about 1 cup)

1 tablespoon Chilli powder

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) whole tomatoes

1/4 cup No-salt-added tomato paste

1 can (8 1/2 ounces) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (7 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained

Preparation

Using a serrated knife, slice off about an inch from the top of the bread.

Carve out a "bowl" from within the bread, leaving about 1 inch inside.

To chop jalapeno pepper, use a knife and fork to hold in place. Chop pepper into fine pieces. Avoid touching seeds with your hands.

In a large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium heat, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain beef.

In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and chili powder; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

Add beef, tomatoes with liquid and tomato paste; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 25 minutes. Add beans and corn; cook 5 minutes longer.

Ladle chili into bread bowl and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

Once you serve the chili, slice the bread bowl into wedges and serve. The flavor to the chili gives the bread an added zest.
