D’s Chili Cones - Chili in a bread cone

You'll be surprised how easy it is to make these edible cones filled with chili, cheese and corn chips.

Ingredients:

·         6 waffle cones

·         Heavy-duty aluminum foil

·         Non-stick cooking spray

·         1 (11 ounce) tube refrigerated French bread loaf

·         2 cans chili (if you’re in a hurry) or make this easy chili recipe

·         1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

·         Corn chips

Here's A Short Video

Preparation:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.       Carefully cover each waffle cone with a layer of aluminum foil. Spray outsides with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

3.       Open tube of bread dough. You should have a long roll. Cut it into 6 even pieces with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Take one lump of dough and place it on a flat, clean surface. Roll it back and forth with hands until you have a long, thin snake. Continue to do this until it measures 36-inches.

4.       Take the strip of dough and begin wrapping it around the foil-covered cone, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Press the end into a lower layer to seal. Set this on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do this for the remaining lumps of dough and cones.

5.       Place the cones into a preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees (F) until golden brown.

6.       While the cones are baking, add the cans of chili into a saucepan and heat on medium-high heat.

7.       Remove the cones from the oven and set them on the counter for a few minutes until they are cool enough to touch. Carefully slide the foil-lined ice cream cones out of the bread cones. Stand them upright in narrow glasses to fill.

Sprinkle a bit of cheddar cheese into the bottom of each bread cone. Now spoon the chili in. Top with corn chips and another sprinkle of cheese. Serve immediately. Enjoy!!
