White Chili in a Bread Bowl

• Purchased ranch or dill vegetable dip

Very Berry Pie

Test Kitchen Tips:

Purchase individual round bread loaves at your local bakery. If you like, prepare a batch of cornbread instead, using a purchased cornbread mix.

When serving the chili, set out an assortment of toppers (see recipe) for the chili and let everyone add their own.

You'll most likely use frozen fruit in the pie at this time of year, so make sure you partially thaw the fruit prior to using. You also may need to add an extra 20 to 30 minutes to the baking time if using frozen fruit. To check for doneness, make sure the filling bubbles up through the slits in the crust. Cover the edge of the pie with foil if it starts to overbrown during baking.

Don't forget the ice cream for those who love ice cream with their pie.
