Except for the time to simmer this dish, it is really very easy to make! My mom used to make this. It is supposed to serve 6, but my husband and I think it only serves 3! The corn bread recipe is good all by itself, as is the Chili con Carne. This one can easily be doubled. Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons oil |
1 onion |
1 lb ground beef |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 can red kidney beans or 1 can chili bean |
2 cans tomato sauce (can substitute stewed or canned tomatoes) |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon crushed cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy - you can leave this out or add more!) |
1/8 teaspoon crushed clove |
salt |
paprika |
3/4 cup cornmeal |
1 cup flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
1 egg, well beaten |
2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons shortening |
