Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup fine cornmeal, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting beef
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 to 4 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
One 14.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

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.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound (about 4 cups) store-bought diced butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes with chiles, drained
One 14.5-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoons sugar
5 ounces (about 6 cups lightly packed) baby spinach
3/4 cup fine cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
Pickled jalapenos, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chili: Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash and a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Remove the squash from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring often, until the 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 vegetable stock, tomatoes, beans, sugar and cooked squash and bring to a simmer. Cook until all of the vegetables are 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 squash, stir in a little water.) Stir in the baby spinach by the handful until all is incorporated and wilted.
  • For the cornbread topping: Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, sour cream 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. Drop spoonfuls of the 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 18 minutes. Serve with more sour cream and pickled jalapenos.

SPANISH RICE WITH GROUND BEEF



Spanish Rice with Ground Beef image

Growing up, my mom made a version of Spanish rice with ground beef that was hearty enough that it stood on its own as a main dish. During a visit a few years ago, after missing her cooking desperately, I watched her prepare it and jotted down the recipe. (Don't worry, I checked with my mom and she's totally on board with sharing with you!) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach with a side of refried beans. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, cheese, avocado slices, and crushed chile flakes.
