Categories     Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean beef
2 eggs well beaten
1 c self rising corn meal mix
1 can(s) 14 3/4 oz cream corn
1 c milk
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 c finely shredded cheddar cheese
2-4 jalapeno peppers, washed, seeded and finely chopped
1/2-1 Tbsp peanut oil for skillet
cilantro, fresh for garnish(optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound lean ground beef over medium heat, stirring constantly. Drain, and set aside.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs, using an electric mixer. Stir in 1 cup self-rising cornmeal, a 14 ¾-oz. can of cream-style corn, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  • 3. Place ½ to 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a 10 ½-inch cast iron skillet, and heat until very hot, but not smoking. (If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you may use a 10-inch deep dish pie plate, greased with peanut oil, but do not heat the oil.)
  • 4. Pour half of the cornbread batter into the hot skillet. Top evenly with the browned ground beef, followed by 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 chopped onion, and 2 to 4 chopped jalapeno peppers.
  • 5. Try to get full and even coverage with each layer. Pour as much of the remaining cornbread batter over the top as your skillet will take, leaving at least ½-inch for the cornbread to rise.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve a wedge on a nice serving plate with some cilantro for garnish, along with a glass of cold milk.

Excellent recipe! I followed it exactly and the dish turned out perfectly. The cornbread was moist and fluffy and the chili was flavorful and hearty. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again.

Followed the recipe and the cornbread turned out very dry. The chili was flavorful, but overall the dish was just okay.

This was so easy to make and it tasted delicious! I cooked the cornbread in a cast iron skillet, which gave it a nice crusty exterior. The chili was also very flavorful. My husband loved it!
