Ingredients

  • 2 small onions (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 jalapeños (stems removed, seeded and minced)
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 15-ounce can red kidney beans (- drained and rinsed)
  • 1 15-ounce can pinto beans (- drained and rinsed)
  • 1 15-ounce black beans (- drained and rinsed)
  • 1 6-ounce tomato paste
  • 20 small dinner rolls (- select oval for football shape)
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • red onion - diced
  • green onion - diced
  • jalapenos
  • sour cream

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Ground Beef, crumbling with a wooden spoon and cooking until no pink remains.

  2. 2

    Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and jalapeños. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and tomato paste. Bring chili to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 to 2 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Cut the top off each bread roll and hollow out the inside to make a mini bread bowl. Be sure to leave at least ½ inch of bread at the bottom. You can also press the cut-out top back into the bottom of the bread bowl to be sure your chili won’t soak through.

  5. 5

    Fill each bread bowl with chili and garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green onion, red onion and jalapeños.

  6. 6

    If making into a football shape, use sour cream piped from a plastic bag with the corner cut off to pipe on the laces.
