This was a winner! My 16 year old daughter made it on her own (inlcuding homemade chile and your homemade cornbread) and declared it’s going into our rotation. Thanks for the great recipes!

Nope, not at all how it is. BUT it’s really easy to make it clean. I use this cornbread recipe: https://www.blessthismessplease.com/2014/02/whole-grain-cornbread.html
and I’ll put leftover homemade chili on top or I’ll make a quick chili with some ground meat sauteed with onions and bell peppers and then cooked with a can of beans and a can of diced tomatoes until slightly thickened. Season with cumin, chili powder, and salt. The idea is great, but the recipe how it is, is just quick and easy. It takes me maybe 15 minutes more to clean it up though and it’s always worth the effort! I hope you try it!

In reply to chilebeanz. OOPS! That's SLICED, not slicked, chicken or turkey.

You can also make stuffing (homemade or Pepperidge Farm) and bake it in a waffle iron. Top with slicked chicken or turkey and gravy.

Oh I forgot….using your BEST cornbread (regardless mix or homemade)… with anything Tex-Mex profile of flavors, I add 2-3 thinly sliced scallion and a clove of garlic. If i can find organic corn oil (instead of canola [which i don’t use because it’s controversial], i use that to oil the waffle iron. So it’ll be chili over scallion corn waffles for us!

Melissa…..Thanks for inspiring my dinner plan tonight! Last night I made a batch of cornbread waffles to make strawberry “shortcakes” (except obviously become “corn cakes”) after a 16 lb strawberry picking session. Dorie Greenspan has an awesome Corn meal waffle recipe in her waffle cookbook (but reduce buttermilk a bit…). So it’s chili waffles tonight! Or perhaps I should wait a day before eating another carb loaded dinner (ha ha). Or add another run…..(wink)
