Chili + Cornbread = Happiness

Provided by Lindsay V

Categories     Casseroles

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp red chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 can(s) petite diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) dark kidney beans (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) light kidney beans (14.5 oz)
few pinches of cayenne
olive oil
pepper
FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 c cornmeal
1/2 c sugar
8 Tbsp butter, cold and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c ice water, plus 2 tbsp (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE CHILI:
  • 2. Heat ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet set to medium heat.
  • 3. Add onions once oil is hot and sauté until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add pepper and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 4. Add beef and cook until meat is browned.
  • 5. Once meat is browned, immediately add tomatoes and their juices. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne and salt. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
  • 6. Remove from heat and place in a 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Allow to cool a bit as you make the crust.
  • 7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • 8. FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
  • 9. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • 10. Gradually incorporate cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands. Continue to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • 11. Add ¼ cup very cold water and mix very lightly with your hands. If the dough sticks together enough to form a ball, you have enough water. If there is still dough at the bottom of your bowl, add more water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you can form a ball with the dough.
  • 12. On a well-floured surface, roll the ball out to create a circle that is slightly larger than your casserole dish.

Chili and cornbread go so well together, why not bake them in the same pan! I've been making this for years and my kids love it. I use ground turkey, but ground beef could be substituted if preferred. You can make this in individual 12- to 16-ounce casseroles if you prefer. Serve with tortilla chips and top with sour cream if desired.

CORNBREAD TAMALE PIE



Cornbread Tamale Pie image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2006 magazine article about the 75th anniversary edition of The Joy of Cooking, the soup-to-nuts cookbook found on practically every home cook's shelf since its first publication in 1931. Like many of the book's beloved recipes, this dish is a crowd-pleasing, homespun classic that is incredibly simple to put together. First, make a quick chili of beef, black beans, corn, green pepper and onion seasoned with chile power and cumin. Spread that in a baking dish, top with a simple cornbread batter and pop it into the oven. In about a half hour: tamale pie. Serve with hot sauce, a dollop of sour cream and a few slices of avocado. If you're trying to eat less red meat, ground turkey or chicken would make a fine substitute for the beef.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
1 cup corn, drained, canned or frozen (thawed if frozen)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper, optional
1 tablespoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 3-quart high-sided casserole dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet, saute the beef and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is brown and the onion translucent, about 10 minutes. Then add the beans, corn, tomato sauce, broth, bell pepper (if using), chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and teaspoon salt. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk and oil until combined. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined. Spread the meat mixture into the casserole dish and cover with the corn bread topping. The topping will disappear into the meat mixture but will rise during baking and form a layer of corn bread. Bake until the corn bread is brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chili: This will ensure that your baked chili is flavorful and satisfying. Look for a chili that is made with fresh, quality ingredients and has a good balance of spices.
  • Don't overcook the chili: Overcooked chili will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is heated through and bubbly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to your baked chili. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.
  • Make sure the cornmeal crust is cooked through: The crust should be golden brown and crispy. If it is not cooked through, it will be soggy and unpleasant.
  • Serve the baked chili immediately: This is when it is at its best. The crust will be crispy and the chili will be hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Baked chili with cornmeal crust is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
