This recipe was a fantastic serendipity!
I was putting away 6 dozen wide mouth quart ball jars from the weekend's wedding celebration and had a big pot of chili cooking away on the stove.
Inspiration struck and the chili ended up in the jars with a big dollop of corn bread batter on the top of it...
YUMMY... and F-U-N!
This is my new favorite way to serve Chili and Cornbread!
I also tweaked my usual StoneGable Chili recipe too...
I had leftover baked beans from our Wedding Celebration this weekend and used them in the chili.
The worked wonderfully!!! If you have leftover baked beans just substitute them for the beans in your favorite chili recipe and OLE' ... they make the chili simply delicious!!! I usually cook my chili in a slow cooker, but this time I made it on the stove.
If you don't have a favorite Chili recipe... give one of mine a try...
STONEGABLE WHITE CHILI
Make the chili and your favorite cornbread batter...
OR...
try mine...SWEET BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD
OR
use a package of Jiffy Cornbread... it tastes pretty good too!
Fill the wide mouth quart jars to within 2 inches of the top with hot chili and add 1/2 cup of the cornbread batter to the jar. Fill to just below the top. The cornbread will not rise very much.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until the cornbread is done.
You could also garnish the top with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green onions. I served mine on the side!
DELICIOUS!!!
Wonderful idea!!
ReplyDeleteHow hungry am I now? I wish I could get cornmeal in the UK. Really miss cornbread and Hush Puppies and such deliciousness. I love this serving in a Mason jar, a brilliant alternative for a picnic dish, you are so clever to come up with these ideas.
ReplyDeleteClever! Looks yummy too. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have to try this. So clever using the canning jars!
ReplyDeleteI guess I would have thought baking the jars would break them...this is clever!
ReplyDeleteYou are just so awesome... Its fun how mason jars are all the rage and you've taken it to an even cooler level (love how you tied the spoon on the side...wonder if a plastic one would melt--just had sort of an accident like that at my last party).
ReplyDeleteI'm pinning this and hope to try it soon while my son is home from college...he and his friends will love this.
Yvonne, My husband and I love your cornbread recipe. I'll have to try your chili recipe and add the cornbread on top. So creative in the mason jars...fun!!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is a mega awesome idea! In fact, a great one to give as gifts at 4th of July, Canada Day...Christmas time, Super Bowl... It already has the matching colours!
Have a great weekend!

Make a nice fresh Clam Chowder, put in Canning jar. I top mine with chopped green onion, and some crumbled bacon! Keep hot in a hot water bath! When ready, top with oyster crackers! This is great for around a campfire!
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteI just love your Chili and Cornbread in a Jar, it is awesome and looks just delicious, I can't wait to taste it. Thank you so much for sharing it with The Texas Star Chili Cook Off and the best of luck to you!

Please share your cornbread recipe. The link brings you to the chili recipe:)
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun idea! We love chili and cornbread, so now I can combine the two!
ReplyDeleteSo very often I like to cook and then take to my friends house around the corner. After seeing this post, I thought, Why not make the chili ahead and just before going over I could take the mason jars out of the fridge and put the cornbread mixture on top. Then when I got over we could throw them in the oven that way everything would be hot when we are ready to eat!!!!! Brilliant idea Thank you
ReplyDeleteI've made these. They are unreal! This chili recipe is now my go to recipe. I was never a real fan of chili, but with this recipe it is so delicious! And the cornbread on top is genius! Great recipe for the summer picnics, or anytime!
