Ingredients:

• 2 cups chili

• 12 oz shredded cheddar cheese

• 4 oz shredded parmesan cheese

• Sour cream (for garnish)

• Shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cheese Cups:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F.

   • In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese.

2. Form Cheese Mounds:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the parchment paper, spacing each mound apart to allow the cheese to spread as it melts.

3. Bake:

   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 9 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is golden brown around the edges.

4. Shape the Cheese Cups:

   • Remove the cheese from the oven. If any cheese has melted together, carefully separate it while it’s still soft.

   • Immediately place each melted cheese round over the upside-down cups of a mini muffin tin. Allow the cheese to cool and harden into cup shapes.

5. Assemble:

   • Once the cheese cups have set, fill each one with hot chili.

   • Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Tips:

• If the cheese hardens before you've shaped all of the cups, return the cheese to the oven for a few seconds to soften it again.
