Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 medium onion (diced)
1 tablespoon oil
4 cloves garlic (minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder))
2 teaspoons salt
1-2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained
1 (14.5 oz) can kidney beans, drained
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup cornmeal
½ cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg (lightly beaten)
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • In a 10" / 4 qt Dutch oven over medium heat, saute the onion in oil until soft and just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and spices and saute for 1 minute. Add the beans, tomatoes, chiles, and tomato paste, stir to combine. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
  • In the meantime, prepare the cornbread batter. Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the milk, egg, and honey and mix until a batter forms.
  • Move Dutch oven over indirect heat to reduce bubbling. Pour the batter over the chili as evenly as possible, then cover the Dutch oven with a lid and shovel embers or coals onto the top. You're going for a temperature of approx. 400-425F.
  • Bake until the cornbread has cooked through and is no longer wet in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite chili toppings & enjoy!

LISA'S DUTCH OVEN CHILI



Lisa's Dutch Oven Chili image

This is a very delicious, hardy, and flavorful chili, however, it's not a hot and spicy chili. If you like heat and other folks in your family do not, you can definitely add hot sauce and/or jarred Jalapenos to individual bowls. I make this chili in my 6-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven. The longer it cooks, the better it...

1 red bell pepper, seeded, ribbed, and chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 clove garlic, peeled and diced
1 to 2 ribs of celery, chopped or diced

1 Tbsp new mexico molido ground chile powder (comes in a cellophane package)
2 tsp steak sauce
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano (rub it between your palms to get the flavor going before adding in)
4 Tbsp olive oil
salt and ground black pepper
shredded cheddar cheese, for topping (optional)
sour cream, for topping (optional)
jarred jalapeno peppers, for topping (optional)
hot sauce, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Turn heat to medium-high; add 2 T olive oil to the Dutch oven; add beef. Brown beef; season with salt and pepper. After the meat is brown, turn off heat and carefully remove meat with a slotted spoon or spider to a bowl; empty grease from Dutch oven.
  • 2. Turn heat to medium-high; add 2 T olive oil to Dutch oven; add peppers, onion, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring with a wooden spatula or spoon, until veggies are soft.
  • 3. Add beef back to the Dutch oven; add the garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, bouillon cube, corn, and beans. Stir to combine.
