CORNBREAD TOPPED CHILI CON CARNE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large pan and fry the onion and garlic until it begins to soften. Add the chili, coriander, cumin, and crushed cardamom pods and stir well.
• Add the peppers then break up the ground beef into the pan and, using a fork, keep turning it to separate it as the meat browns. Add the chopped tomatoes, ketchup, tomato puree, and water stirring to make a rich red sauce. When the chili starts to boil sprinkle over the cocoa and stir it in. Add the beans and simmer partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. At this point you can cool and freeze the chili, or just keep it in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

• Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the cornbread and then bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cornbread topping is risen and golden and the chili underneath is bubbling. How long this takes depends on the how cold or hot the chili was when it went into the oven. Since it's such a huge vat, you may find it easiest to reheat it on the stove in its pan first.
• Let the chili stand for about 5 minutes once out of the oven before cutting the cornbread top into squares or slices to serve with a helping of chili underneath.
• Mash the avocados with the scallions and add the juice of up to 2 limes, to taste. Stir in most of the cilantro and turn into 2 bowls, sprinkling each with the remaining cilantro.
• Divide the sour cream into another 2 bowls, and dust with a little paprika and, into another pair of bowls add the grated Cheddar so that people can take clumps and add the tangy cheese to their plates of guacamole and sour cream splodged chili.

CHILI WITH CORNBREAD TOPPING (OAMC)

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet, brown ground beef. Transfer to (very) large dutch oven (or divide between two large slow cookers).
• Saute chopped onions until softened.
• Add garlic, cumin, pepper, chili powder, salt, allspice, and cayenne to the onions. Cook for one more minute.
• Add cocoa and cornmeal to the spices. Stir well.
• Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Transfer to the dutch oven.
• Add corn and beans to the dutch oven. Mix well.
• Bake in preheated oven for 4 hours at 325°F Check periodically and add water if the chili is getting too dry (this will vary depending on your pot.) (If using slow cookers, cover & cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.).
• Add chopped bell peppers (and olives if using). Stir well. Adjust seasoning as desired. ** Stop here for OAMC. See notes below.
• To make the Cornbread Topping: mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder. Add melted butter,buttermilk or milk, and egg. Stir well. Add grated cheddar cheese, green chilis including juice, (and green onions if using). Stir well. ** See OAMC topping notes below.
• Next, spoon the prepared cornbread topping mix (see below) over the chili. Bake at 350, or (on high in the crockpot) for about 45-60 minutes (or until topping is set).
• Serve with sourcream, green onions, or other condiments as desired.
• ** OAMC notes for chili: Follow the recipe up through mixing in the bell peppers, but before making & adding the topping. For a family of 5, I like to separate this recipe into 4 batches, which can then later be baked in a medium sized slow cooker or in a 2.5 to 3 qt casserole in the oven. I freeze each batch in a glass or foil baking dish.
• ** OAMC notes for the topping: mix all ingredients except the egg and milk in a large bowl. Then separate into labeled freezer bags, noting how much egg & milk to add. (If you make 4 servings as I do, it will be add 1/2 c milk and 1/2 egg to each bag.)
• ** OAMC serving directions: Thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. Heat in microwave or in an oven at 325 until hot (about 45 minutes in an oven). Mix the frozen topping mixture with the milk & egg, then spoon over the chili & return to oven at 350. Bake until topping is set, about 45-60 minutes.
