Baked chili is wonderful the first day and also makes outstanding leftovers. As a student living on my own, I love savory one-pot suppers like this that provide several days of tasty meals. From Michelle Gal of Toronto Ontario.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and
drained
1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn,
drained
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes,
undrained
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
CORN BREAD BISCUITS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
Method
In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, over medium heat, cook beef, onion and green pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Beat egg, milk and sour cream until smooth; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Transfer chili to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls onto hot chili. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-17 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned. Yield: 8 servings.
