Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups finely-ground yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place two 8-cavity mini loaf pans in the oven to heat up.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour, sugar and baking powder.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and salt to a uniform color. Quickly but gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. It should be a loose batter, not a dough.
  • Carefully remove the loaf pans from the oven and quickly spray with cooking spray.
  • Divide the batter evenly among 12 cavities of the loaf pans and bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans 180 degrees halfway through baking.
  • Immediately turn the cornbread loaves out of the pans onto a cooling rack to cool. This will also ensure they build a crisp crust.

FIREHOUSE CHILI AND CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole image

Everyone knows that firefighters make the best chili--many using a recipe very similar to this--and the only way I know how to make that chili even better is by topping it with a cheesy cornbread crust. The cornbread crust is relatively sweet, which of course pairs perfectly with that spicy, meaty, savory chili.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup diced poblano pepper
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
2 cups water, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 (7.5 ounce) packages corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese, divided
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add onion, salt, and ground beef. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until meat is browned and crumbled into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add poblano pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, and oregano; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. Measure water using the empty tomato cans and pour into the pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes before stirring in kidney beans. Continue simmering until bubbling and fragrant, about 30 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place a deep 9x13-inch baking dish on a baking sheet. Transfer chili to the dish, being sure to leave at least 1 inch of space at the top. Stir to evenly distribute.
  • Whisk corn muffin mix, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, eggs, and milk together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon evenly over chili until the surface is covered. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread crust is browned and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Spoon or ladle into a dish and garnish with sour cream and cilantro.
