Next time you grill out or grill in, throw on a few extra pieces of steak to use for another day. You are not limited to just steak; chicken, pork, roast, turkey would also work great. This is a drier version of chili that I like to serve over cornbread waffles. Hope you enjoy!

TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
While visiting Texas I bought a small bottle of jalapeno pepper jelly, which inspired me to try this recipe. It's like a kicked up Southern classic, and the syrup can be used as a dipping sauce for the chicken. -Debra Goforth, Newport, Tennessee
