Tex Mex Chili and Cornbread Waffles image

Next time you grill out or grill in, throw on a few extra pieces of steak to use for another day. You are not limited to just steak; chicken, pork, roast, turkey would also work great. This is a drier version of chili that I like to serve over cornbread waffles. Hope you enjoy!

SKILLET TEX-MEX CORNBREAD STUFFING



Skillet Tex-Mex Cornbread Stuffing image

[DRAFT]

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1¼ cups stone-ground fine yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups buttermilk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 (14.75-ounce) can creamed corn
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
9 mini bell peppers, a mix of red, orange, and yellow, cut into thin half-moons

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat one Frigidaire Gallery® Double Wall Oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, chili powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, creamed corn, and eggs. Set aside. 2. In an 11-inch heavy ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat on a Frigidaire Gallery® Induction Cooktop. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the cornmeal mixture and toss to evenly coat. Wipe the skillet clean. 3. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold just until evenly moistened. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the same skillet over high heat. Pour in the batter, spread evenly, and transfer to the oven. 4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are brown, about 20 minutes. Cut the mixture into 1-inch chunks in the skillet, then use a fork to mix and toss the creamy cornbread into a fluffy stuffing. Serve hot.
  • Weeknight Tips: -To serve as cornbread, bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top of the bread bounces back slightly when you gently press the top with a fingertip. Cut into wedges to serve warm. -To turn the stuffing into a one-dish meal, fold in beans or chunks of chicken or sausage. -Leftover stuffing can be formed into patties and pan-fried in a little oil on a Frigidaire Gallery® Induction Cooktop until crisp on both sides.

DONNA'S TEX MEX CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Donna's Tex Mex Cornbread Casserole image

I got this recipe from my Mother-in-Law years ago, and we make it regularly. This recipe is a double and we always make a freezer meal. It also reheats well so you can take it for lunches.

Provided by Joe and Julie McDon

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 24 , 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground meat (I like 93%/7% ground turkey)
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms (drained)
1 (16 ounce) can black olives (drained)
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (16 ounce) can mexicorn
1 (16 ounce) can ranch style beans (I like black)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8 1/2 ounce) box Jiffy cornbread mix

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In large stock pot, brown meat with onion and bell pepper. Stir in seasonings and canned ingredients. DO NOT DRAIN CANS except mushrooms and olives.
  • Leave to simmer on medium heat while preparing corn bread. Per my MIL's experience, add nearly twice the milk the package calls for, then spread a very thin layer of batter along the bottom of two 9x13 baking dishes.
  • Dump in the contents of the stock pot, layer on the shredded cheese, then top with the remaining corn bread batter. Bake until corn bread is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Eat one today, freeze the other for later.
  • ALTERNATIVE: Mix ingredients together and leave out the cornbread for an amazing chili/soup! We did this for the first time today and it was very good.
