Homemade Chili Bread Bowl

Nothing cheesy about this chili bread bowl!! Well, except the cheesy bread! Homemade chili bread bowl, the perfect dinner for chilly Fall nights!

The simplest meals are often the most delicious. After a long day at work, normally you wouldn’t feel like juggling ingredients to create dinner and just looked forward to having a simple but delicious meal, to compensate for those hectic hours you experienced earlier. For me, I have dusted off my slow-cooker in the hopes of using it one of these days, but so far, my real find has come in the form of one-pot meals. I’ve been enjoying these recipes for dinner, so the slow-cooker has to wait a little bit longer.

Dinnertime is always hectic at our home. I feel sorry for the hubs. It takes him about 1.5-2 hours each way to work, depending on traffic. He always feels exhausted by the time he gets home after his long commute to work. So I try not to waste long hours in the kitchen preparing dinner, but rather spend more time with him, chit-chatting and relaxing together.

Some people suggested that we get takeout dinners, which we have done, once in a while. However, I love cooking for my family. We both came from family-oriented backgrounds where dinnertime is when everyone gets together, bonding as a family while enjoying homemade meals.

For a while now, I am thinking of simple ways to make dinner easier, and here’s one to try. Click here to learn more about Prego and like them on Facebook.
