Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup fine cornmeal, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting beef
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 to 4 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
One 14.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, beans and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and bring to simmer. Cook until the meat becomes tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the meat, stir in a little water.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the sour cream, milk and egg together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar cheese. Drop oval-shaped spoonfuls of batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. The batter will not completely cover the chili.
  • Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched, and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 17 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve with more sour cream.

CHUNKY CHILI CORNBREAD

This is a tasty cornbread with texture and a good flavour! The recipe makes a larger than expected loaf. I use the dough setting on the bread maker and then bake it in a large loaf pan, but you could bake it in the bread machine also.

Time 3h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups water
1 egg
¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cornmeal
⅔ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast

Steps:

  • Place the ingredients into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Set the pan in the machine and close the lid. Select the Dough cycle, and press start.
  • When the cycle is complete, remove the dough to a lightly floured surface, and press out all of the air. Roll dough up into a tight loaf, and pinch the seam. Place into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Let rise for about 40 minutes, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the bread gently.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned. When done, the loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
