CORNBREAD AND CHILI BITES



Cornbread and Chili Bites image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cooking spray, for the muffin pan
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 pound ground beef chuck
Kosher salt
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 scallion, thinly sliced
About 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mix and whisk until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon per cup). Rap the muffin pan on the counter several times so the batter spreads evenly in each cup.
  • Bake until slightly domed on top and golden brown on the underside, about 10 minutes. Cool completely in the pan. Hold a paring knife at an angle to cut a conical shape out of the top of each muffin so that the base is like a shallow bowl. Reserve the cut-out tops.
  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chocolate and 3/4 cup water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 10 minutes. Keep warm or reheat before serving.
  • Make the bites: Reheat the cornbread if desired (the best way is in the microwave 1 to 2 minutes to avoid drying them out). Divide the chili evenly between the cornbread cups and top with a sprinkling of cheese and scallions. Place the cornbread top on top and serve warm.

EASY CHILI CORNBREAD BAKE



Easy Chili Cornbread Bake image

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.
