How to make Cornbread Waffles with Chili:

I made my homemade chili in a Dutch oven, a soup pot works too. I used 95% lean ground beef. One pound was 14 points. I started by browning the ground beef with one chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic.

Once the ground beef was browned I drained the grease. Then it was time to add the seasonings.

Add in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Stir it together with the meat.

Next add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Mix it up on medium-high heat until it starts to simmer.

Let the chili simmer for 20 minutes.

While that’s cooking you can make the cornbread waffles. I used a mini waffle maker. This is the one I have:

Mix together a box of Jiffy cornbread, one egg, skim milk and unsweetened applesauce. Stir together with a rubber spatula.

Spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and add 1/4 cup of the cornbread batter. Once the waffle iron starts steaming it should be done.

I was able to make 8 mini waffles with the cornbread batter.

Pour the chili over the waffle and add your favorite toppings. Green onions, cheddar cheese and sour cream are some of my favorites. Just add any points if necessary.
