Nothing tickles appetites quicker than these spicy tidbits. It's like eating chili in a muffin. I like assembling and freezing them ahead of time to beat the Christmas rush in my kitchen. Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 medium green pepper, diced |
1 medium onion, diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
2 tablespoons water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
1/4 teaspoon dill weed |
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 loaves (1 pound each) sliced italian bread |
grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef, green pepper, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, cut circles from bread slices using a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Press the circles into greased miniature muffin cups.
3. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from tins and cool on wire racks. Fill each bread cup with about 1 tablespoon chili mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. Yield: about 5 dozen.
