CHILI CORNBREAD SKILLET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Make the chili: Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and browned. Add the garlic and jalapeño, and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
• Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and browned. If there is a large amount of excess oil, spoon out of the skillet and discard.
• Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and water, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the cornbread batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
• While whisking continuously, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened.
• Remove the chili from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the surface.
• Pour the cornbread batter over the chili and cheese, and spread evenly all the way to the edges of the pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
• Scoop the chili and cornbread into bowls and garnish with cilantro.
• Enjoy!

VEGGIE CHILI CORNBREAD SKILLET

Steps:

• For the chili: Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butternut squash and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes more. Stir in the chili powder, salt, oregano, cumin and black pepper to taste. Cook until the spices are aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the salsa, black and pinto beans and tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the cornbread: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk to combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the melted butter, egg and buttermilk. Whisk to combine, taking care not to overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure that all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to dollop the cornbread mixture over the top of the chili in the skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cornbread is golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes.

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.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 8 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.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. 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. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar cheese. Drop oval-shaped spoonfuls of batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. The batter will not completely cover the chili.
• Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched, and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 17 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve with more sour cream.

GREEN CHILE CORNBREAD SKILLET WITH CRISPY PORK AND SPICY HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with oil.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, honey, butter and egg in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Fold in the green chiles and 3/4 cup Cheddar.
• Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake for 25 minutes. Use a toothpick to test if the inside is wet. If so, return to the oven and bake until just dry, another 5 minutes. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar and let cool for 10 minutes.
• For the pork: Sprinkle the pork pieces with salt and place in a stovetop pressure cooker. Add the garlic, orange juice and orange peels. Close the lid and bring to pressure over high heat. Cook on high for 45 minutes.
• Cool and release the pressure according to the manufacturer's directions. Very carefully open the lid and transfer the pork to a plate using a slotted spoon. Let cool until cool enough to handle. Cut the pork into large chunks, then deep-fry, in batches, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Reserve in a bowl or baking dish until all are fried.
• For the spicy butter: Whisk the butter, honey, cayenne, chili powder and salt in a medium bowl until fully incorporated.
• Top the cornbread skillet with more roasted Hatch green chile. Break up the fried pork pieces with forks or a knife. Top the cornbread with the pork and large dollops of the spicy honey butter. Cut into large wedges and serve.
