Cheddar Cornbread Waffles
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (not cornbread mix)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Chicken Chili
  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add ground chicken and chop up as it browns.
  3. Add diced onions and cook until tender (2-3 minutes), and then add minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. Combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin and chipotle chili powder in a small bowl to combine, sprinkle over cooked chicken, and stir to coat all of the ingredients in the pan while cooking for an additional minute.
  5. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and all of the beans and mix together with chicken.
  6. Stir in salt & pepper, reduce heat to simmer, and cover; simmer for at least 30 minutes, but flavors combine better if simmered for about 2 hours.
  7. While chili is cooking, make the cheddar cornbread waffles.
  8. To assemble and serve, place a waffle or 2 on a plate, top with the chicken chili and your favorite chili toppings like sour cream, cilantro, jalapenos, etc.
Cheddar Cornbread Waffles
  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together buttermilk & eggs.
  4. Add the buttermilk/egg mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients, just until incorporated (lumpy is ok!).
  5. Fold in the melted butter and shredded cheese, making sure not to overmix.
  6. Grease waffle maker with cooking spray or melted butter and add batter (1/2 cup for regular type waffle iron and 2/3 to 3/4 cup for a Belgian style maker).
  7. Cook until browned and crispy, approx. 10 minutes (or follow guidelines for time from your waffle maker manufacturer).
