I asked Kathi Lipp (author of The “What’s for Dinner?” Solution and The Christmas Project) for one of her family’s favorite holiday recipes and she sent me this great idea for turning Christmas leftovers into a delicious post-Christmas chili. Throw it in bread bowl and it’s a no-fuss dinner you can serve your holiday house guests (who may or may not have decided to overstay their welcome).
This recipe can be doubled or tripled, depending on how many people will be stopping by (or lingering).
Kathi says “It’s truly this easy.”
