With the chili, you can always add grated sharp cheddar cheese, avocado or diced green onions too. Great video! Thank you. P.S. sorry I forgot to add that if you take a bit of softened butter and grease whichever pan you're using for cornbread, it will give you a nice browned and crunchy crust on the outside.

I've never seen chili as an entree without beans. Chili as a topping like on hot dogs or something doesn't have beans, but that's like a condiment, not an entree.

@@undie3x7it’s a Texas thing. The very name “Chile con Carne” translates to “chili with meat.” There’s obviously no mention of beans but that’s become the norm outside of Texas (where chili originated) P.S. the meat need not be beef nor even ground meat.

[@undie3x7]

@santamanone umm I'm a Texan from San Antonio. Chili originated in Mexico, not Texas. I'm a chef here and obviously learned to make chili here. Chili con carne, which is typically just a topping(condiment) for tamales or enchiladas etc, typically doesn't have beans in it but can include beans. Even back in the 1800's could include beans. Chili served as a stew/soup(entree) typically does have beans in it. As for your point chili con carne name does not mention beans. It doesn't mention tomatoes or onions either but they are also part of it. Just cuz it isn't in the name doesn't mean anything. The name just conveys what is the main or most prevalent ingredient, which in any form is the meat.

Corn Bread is typically a side dish, like having a dinner roll or bread with a meal. The next time you make CORN BREAD, either use a muffin/cup cake pan or just pour the batter into a cast iron skillet and bake it in that, then when its done, you just slice it into wedges like a cake/pie, and eat it while its still warm, with lots of butter. Honey goes well on corn bread too!

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

And baked in cast iron gives it three distinct phases: the exposed top crust, the interior, and the seared crust on the bottom and sides.

[@LaShumbraBatesAuDHD]

Now you got me wanting to go down to the kitchen to make some cornbread. 😋

[@mjhicks123]

In your iron skillet, saute onions. Once your onions are ready, pour your cornbread batter over and bake. You'll have a whole new experience.

[@steveandtammyb]

And be sure to have oil in that skillet and preheat it until it is really hot so that the batter sizzles when you pour it in! That makes the outside nice and crunchy! Add lots of butter just before you eat it! Yum!

[@jadebeam3029]

My husband introduced me to this dish his family calls it chili pie. He is from TN and I grew up in Ohio. My mother always made cornbread in a bread loaf pan and would add 1 cup of sugar to it and it was more like a cake. We always ate it with butter and syrup (Yankee version!!!)

Chili and cornbread is one of my favorite meals! Sometimes I make my cornbread in muffin tins but more often I make it in a wrought iron skillet. We use it as a side for soups, stews, a big pot of beans etc. Serve it hot and spread with butter! It's also wonderful with butter and honey or jam! One other way I make it is as a casserole for holiday meals. You use the Jiffy box mix and mix in shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, a can of sweet corn and a can of creamed corn and bake it in a casserole dish. It's a family favorite!

[@alanw9677]

I prefer it as a side dish. Goes with almost anything. Many restaurants in the US will offer muffins with the meals. The cream corn is my favorite.

(Seeds removed) • Then mixed her cornmeal with a can of cream corn. • Then she would pour a layer of the cornmeal batter in the bottom of the baking pan. • Then add the cooked meat on top, in the baking pan. • Then layer the top of the meat with sliced cheese. • Then add the rest of the cornmeal batter on top, for a covering layer. • Then bake until the cornbread is done. It's simple, but sooo good.

I'm from the South and I was told my whole life that authentic chili is made with beans along with all of the aromatics and the peppers and tomatoes but NO MEAT at all. The recipe was developed and became popular in the late '20s and early '30s during the the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl in the Southwestern Great Plains region of the US. Beans were a cheap and more readily available protein at a time when meat was scarce. Chili was a nutritious meal that could feed a large family and not break the bank. Chili with meat is called "chili con carne" (Spanish for Chili with meat) and it has both beans and meat. I was taught that Texans are the ones who tend to insist that it's made with meat and no beans, mainly because they're a major beef producer and making their chili with meat only, is a way to promote the beef industry. It always made perfect sense to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@usafvet100]

In Southern states, especially with families who have a limited food budget, cornbread and pinto beans show up on the table regularly. The beans are slow cooked for hours, then when ready to serve you slice open a piece of cornbread and pour the beans over it. Toppings include diced onion, ketchup, or diced peppers. Sides are fried potatoes or perhaps fried okra and green tomatoes fresh from the garden. Ate an awful lot of it growing up!😁

I love cornbread! I'm from Southern America. So we have it three ways: we have the sweet kind, the regular kind, and then we have the spicy kind... But I would prefer to have bread with my chili. It's just a totally different taste... But you have to have cornbread with the collards and mustard greens and black eyed peas FYI or two versions of chili: Texans say no beans, and the rest usually say beans. I always say beans unless I'm putting it on my hot dog.

Absolutely! Beans BELONG in chili. Chili was invented as a poor man's food because meat was expensive, so beans were used as a filler and to add protein. The "no beaners" are just ignorant of history.

[@generic53]

I found this online: "Texas Chili: No Beans Allowed Carol Hancock, President and CEO of the International Chili Society, makes a good case for why there are no beans found in true Texas chili: because that is just the way it is. “I think there is probably no consensus on one idea (of what defines chili), but the reason why we don’t allow beans in chili is number one: real Texas chili has always been known as meat and the sauce with peppers,” Hancock said. “Beans don’t come into play at the cook off because if our judges are trying to determine a taste, beans are a dominant flavor and we wouldn’t get the pure chili taste.”

Another great mix is Zaterians-spelling likely wrong.. I like going from scratch but the wife needs gluten-free, with a mix I often add lots of extra cornmeal as most mixes are stingy on the meal, then more moisture is needed, so I dump in lots of apple sauce, I never measure, just add until the batter is right, a bit of cinnamon goes well, or get the applesauce with the Cin. I am already in it-lots of ways to go with it-we don't use sugar as I am diabetic-but Stevia works great- I like it better than sugar.

Chili is one of those dishes that Mom made to provide a quick, inexpensive, meal. Adding beans made it go farther. It is a comfort food because it "warms you up" and reminds you of home. Soups and stews also started with a basic recipe that was often extended with leftovers or fillers (especially if you were feeding teenagers). [Actually, my dad often made the chili. He once was inspired to make the "Jail Chili" recipe from The Saturday Evening Post. The prisoners did not get beans, but it was spicy, so they probably did get the cornbread to cool it down.]

[@cookielady7662]

We call that tamale pie in west Texas. It usually has a little more heat and spicy seasoning, but it's essentially the same. So glad you enjoyed it. If you make cornbread by itself, do bake it in cast iron. Put some shortening or oil in the skillet and heat it in the oven before putting the cornbread in. Flip it over when you take it out and it will have a nice crispy top. TFS.
