We were looking for something different for breakfast. Â I had made a pot of chili but another chili omelet just seemed boring. Â My husband asked, what’s wrong with just chili and cornbread for breakfast? Â And then it dawned on me!! Â Cornbread waffles!! Â Lets give it a go – and it was amazing!
It’s easy – it’s delicious – and it works for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!
What you need:
CHILI
- 1 pound beef cut into cubes (any cut)
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/3 cup chili powder
- 1 16-oz can diced tomatoes (I used the one with green chilies)
- 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
- 2 teaspoons each -garlic powder, onion powder & cumin
- 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 16-oz cans of pinto beans, drained
- Grated cheddar and chopped onions for garnish
WAFFLES
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- one egg
- 1 teaspoon each – sugar and salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 3 Tablespoons oil
- Cooking spray (for the waffle iron)
How to Do it:
 CHILI
Put the beef and the coffee in a crockpot on high for 1 hour. Reduce to low and add all the remaining ingredients except beans and garnish.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
Stir in the beans and cook on high for another hour (or transfer to the stove and simmer on a medium-high burner for about 30 minutes)
WAFFLES
Spray a waffle iron lightly with cooking oil and heat it up!
Beat the egg, buttermilk and oil together in a small bowl.
Stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and slowly add the wet ingredients.
Pour batter by about ½ to ¾ cups into the waffle iron.  Cook until browned and firm. Remove and set on a plate. Continue until all the batter is used.
I added a few slices of pickled jalapeno to a couple and it was a great addition!
BUILD THEM
Top each waffle with a cup of chili and garnish with cheese and onions.
Makes 4-6 servings
