Serving chilli con carne with bread is a great idea, because it provides both taste and texture contrast to your meal!The bread can either be crusty or soft, so you're not going to feel like you're eating the same thing all over again. The flavors are also different: the bread is usually lightly seasoned, or has a slight sweetness to it, while the chilli con carne will have strong spices that compliment each other and taste like they've been slow-cooked.If you want to take this combo up another level, serve your bread in a bowl of chilli con carne! That way you get all the flavor, and none of the mess.
