CORNBREAD WAFFLES WITH CHILI & FIXINS'
This recipe for Cornbread Waffles with Chili and Fixins' was inspired by a recent teachers event. We were trying to put together a teacher appreciation meal and they wanted something other than the soup and potato bar they usually have every year. So, I ended up creating this easy recipe idea!

CORNBREAD WAFFLE BAR
I was able to make all of the cornbread waffles in advance and freeze them. Then, just warmed them up when ready to serve! We put the chili in a crock pot to keep warm and had all of the toppings laid out so everyone could serve themselves. It ended up being a huge hit and everyone loved the combination of flavors!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
Martha White Mexican Style Cornbread Mix
milk
eggs
chili
Toppings: sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese
HOW TO MAKE CORNBREAD WAFFLES WITH CHILI & FIXINS':
Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting. If your waffle iron has a number setting, set it to a number 4 (higher if you want a darker, crispier waffle.) My son likes his waffles lightly cooked so I make his first. I like mine a little more well done. Also at this point you will want to start heating up your chili. Pour both cans of chili into a covered pot and heat up until warmed through or pop it into a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warmed through.
In a medium bowl, combine both packs of cornbread mix with eggs and milk. Stir well until combined.
Once your waffle iron is heated, spray with nonstick spray. I like the kind with flour in it.
Pour one cup of cornbread mix onto waffle iron.
Y'all, look at these waffles. They cook up perfectly in the waffle iron.
If you love your cornbread with crispy edges, then you will LOVE these waffles!
Have everyone top their own waffles with what they like. Chili and lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes. This recipe makes 4 large Belgian Waffles or 6 smaller waffles. This would be a great idea for a "Cornbread Waffle Bar". Just set out all the hot waffles along with all the fixins' in a bowl and let your friends and family stack it up however they like

Notes
Lots of ways to change this up! Use any of the Martha White Cornbread Mixes to change up the flavor. There's Cotton Pickin' Cornbread, Sweet Yellow Cornbread and Regular Yellow Cornbread. Also, you could use a beef taco filling instead of chili! Make it into a waffle bar! Or make it like a breakfast waffle. Use the Sweet Yellow Cornbread mix and add cooked bacon or cooked and crumbled sausage. And then serve with warm maple syrup!

I like any kind of cornbread---sweet or unsweet!
Can the cornbread be cooked on stove top?
As long as it is good old fashion cornbread, it doesn't matter which. Love it even as dessert with blackberry jam and butter on it.
I am so jealous you get to judge the competition! I like my cornbread a little sweet in most applications. But I will eat it either way 😉
Yes, I want this on my plate VERY soon, yum!
I like both. I've attended the National Cornbread Festival many times. Great fun and good food! I plan my visits to TN around festival time.
If I am eating with my Mother I like the cornbread unsweet and if I am eating with my MIL I like it sweet! We love cornbread made in the waffle iron…
I have never had cornbread waffles, but am going to try soon.
LOVE cornbread waffles and chili. So much fun!
I like sweet cornbread, unless it's going in milk then I want plain and simple cornbread.
I did not realize how badly I need a waffle iron!
It doesn't matter to me. I love cornbread in all kinds of ways.
I love both 🙂
Cornbread waffles what a fabulous idea !
Guess I like sweet cornbread, but I only use about 1-2 TB per my small skillet recipe - so it's not too sweet.
Sweet!
It depends on what I'm cooking but I usually go for sweetened.
Sweet, thank you!
oh, i like it sweet
I love both! 🙂
Any cornbread is delish!!!
This is my first time on The Country Cook site but I have "wandered" around and I love it. I also love all kinds of cornbread and would love this Gift Set!
Sweet. What other kind is there?
First time on your web site,and
impressed with the recipe for waffle tacos.I have to say I like both kinds of cornbread,but sure would love to have a waffle maker.
That sounds like a festival I would enjoy. I don't own a waffle iron but pinned it anyway.
I like my unsweetened. 🙂
