CORNBREAD TOPPED CHILI CON CARNE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large pan and fry the onion and garlic until it begins to soften. Add the chili, coriander, cumin, and crushed cardamom pods and stir well.
• Add the peppers then break up the ground beef into the pan and, using a fork, keep turning it to separate it as the meat browns. Add the chopped tomatoes, ketchup, tomato puree, and water stirring to make a rich red sauce. When the chili starts to boil sprinkle over the cocoa and stir it in. Add the beans and simmer partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. At this point you can cool and freeze the chili, or just keep it in the refrigerator overnight.

I freeze each batch in a glass or foil baking dish.

• ** OAMC serving directions: Thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. Heat in microwave or in an oven at 325 until hot (about 45 minutes in an oven). Mix the frozen topping mixture with the milk & egg, then spoon over the chili & return to oven at 350. Bake until topping is set, about 45-60 minutes.
