Time 4h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 15-ounce cans refried pinto beans
2 cups frozen corn (preferably fire-roasted)
2 poblano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 16-ounce jar salsa
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chiles
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
2 cups shredded muenster cheese (about 8 ounces)
18 to 20 corn tostada shells
2 avocados, sliced
Sour cream and pickled jalapenos, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the refried beans, frozen corn, poblanos, 1/4 cup cilantro, the cumin and chile powder in a medium bowl. Combine the salsa, tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro in a separate medium bowl. Toss the cheddar and muenster cheese in a third bowl; set aside.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the salsa mixture in a thin layer in a 6-quart slow cooker. Top with about 6 tostada shells, breaking them as needed to cover the bottom. Spread half of the bean mixture over the tostada shells, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese mixture and 1 cup of the salsa mixture. Repeat the layers (tostada shells, bean mixture, cheese, salsa mixture), then top with the remaining tostadas, cheese and salsa.
  • Cover and cook on low, 4 hours. Uncover and let rest 15 minutes. Serve with the sliced avocados, sour cream, cilantro and pickled jalapenos.

FIREHOUSE CHILI AND CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole image

Everyone knows that firefighters make the best chili--many using a recipe very similar to this--and the only way I know how to make that chili even better is by topping it with a cheesy cornbread crust. The cornbread crust is relatively sweet, which of course pairs perfectly with that spicy, meaty, savory chili.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup diced poblano pepper
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
2 cups water, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 (7.5 ounce) packages corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)
1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese, divided
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add onion, salt, and ground beef. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until meat is browned and crumbled into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add poblano pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, and oregano; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes. Measure water using the empty tomato cans and pour into the pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes before stirring in kidney beans. Continue simmering until bubbling and fragrant, about 30 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place a deep 9x13-inch baking dish on a baking sheet. Transfer chili to the dish, being sure to leave at least 1 inch of space at the top. Stir to evenly distribute.
  • Whisk corn muffin mix, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, eggs, and milk together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon evenly over chili until the surface is covered. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread crust is browned and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Spoon or ladle into a dish and garnish with sour cream and cilantro.
