While visiting Texas I bought a small bottle of jalapeno pepper jelly, which inspired me to try this recipe. It's like a kicked up Southern classic, and the syrup can be used as a dipping sauce for the chicken. -Debra Goforth, Newport, Tennessee

Next time you grill out or grill in, throw on a few extra pieces of steak to use for another day. You are not limited to just steak; chicken, pork, roast, turkey would also work great. This is a drier version of chili that I like to serve over cornbread waffles. Hope you enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 lb grilled steak (i used new york strips) (you could use other cuts of meat if desired)

2 Tbsp cooking oil
2 tsp chili power (can use hot if desired)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, optional (i like a little heat)
1 (14 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 c corn, fresh or frozen (thaw if frozen)
1 large red tomato (fresh out of the garden if possible), diced
salt and pepper to taste
CORNBREAD WAFFLE
1 1/2 c self rising yellow corn meal
1/2 c self rising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 c milk
1/4 c butter, melted
1 1/2 c corn, fresh or frozen (thaw if frozen
TOPPINGS
cheese, shredded
sour cream
jalapeno rings
black olives
sliced avocado

Steps:

  • 1. CHILI: Slice grilled steak into thin bite size pieces; set aside. Saute onion, bell pepper and jalapeno in oil over medium heat until slightly tender; add steak and heat. Add remaining ingredients and heat through.
  • 2. CORNBREAD WAFFLES: Stir together cornmeal, flour, salt, cayenne, & sugar. In another bowl mix egg, milk, butter and corn.
  • 3. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until moistened.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated waffle iron until crisp and browned.
  • 5. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • Use a Belgian waffle maker for the best results. It will give you thicker, evenly cooked waffles.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid and will help to prevent the waffles from being too dense.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
