CORNBREAD TOPPED CAST-IRON SKILLET CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, 6 to 10 minutes.

Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, beans and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and bring to simmer. Cook until the meat becomes tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the meat, stir in a little water.

Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the sour cream, milk and egg together in another bowl.

Drop oval-shaped spoonfuls of batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. The batter will not completely cover the chili.

CHILI WITH CORNBREAD TOPPING (OAMC)

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet, brown ground beef. Transfer to (very) large dutch oven (or divide between two large slow cookers).
• Saute chopped onions until softened.
• Add garlic, cumin, pepper, chili powder, salt, allspice, and cayenne to the onions. Cook for one more minute.
• Add cocoa and cornmeal to the spices. Stir well.
• Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Transfer to the dutch oven.
• Add corn and beans to the dutch oven. Mix well.
• Bake in preheated oven for 4 hours at 325°F Check periodically and add water if the chili is getting too dry (this will vary depending on your pot.) (If using slow cookers, cover & cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.).
• Add chopped bell peppers (and olives if using). Stir well. Adjust seasoning as desired. ** Stop here for OAMC. See notes below.
• To make the Cornbread Topping: mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder. Add melted butter,buttermilk or milk, and egg. Stir well. Add grated cheddar cheese, green chilis including juice, (and green onions if using). Stir well. ** See OAMC topping notes below.

• Serve with sourcream, green onions, or other condiments as desired.
• ** OAMC notes for chili: Follow the recipe up through mixing in the bell peppers, but before making & adding the topping. For a family of 5, I like to separate this recipe into 4 batches, which can then later be baked in a medium sized slow cooker or in a 2.5 to 3 qt casserole in the oven. I freeze each batch in a glass or foil baking dish.
• ** OAMC notes for the topping: mix all ingredients except the egg and milk in a large bowl. Then separate into labeled freezer bags, noting how much egg & milk to add. (If you make 4 servings as I do, it will be add 1/2 c milk and 1/2 egg to each bag.)
• ** OAMC serving directions: Thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. Heat in microwave or in an oven at 325 until hot (about 45 minutes in an oven). Mix the frozen topping mixture with the milk & egg, then spoon over the chili & return to oven at 350. Bake until topping is set, about 45-60 minutes.
