preparation

1) In a large pan over medium heat, add the ground meat along with all the seasonings. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks until no longer pink. Once finished, transfer to a crockpot.

2) To the crockpot, add the yellow onion, poblano, jalapeno, beef broth, beans, tomatoes, and spices. Stir to combine, then cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

3) Just prior to serving, grate the Castello Aged Havarti Cheese and set aside. Slice the top of each dinner roll and then remove the inside of the bottom half to make a mini bread bowl. Toast the rolls as desired.

4) Scoop the chili into the bottom half of the rolls, then top with a generous sprinkle of Castello Aged Havarti Cheese. You can optionally heat the rolls in the oven to melt the cheese, 350F for 5 minutes should do the trick. Top with a pinch of green onions and enjoy.
