Cornbread waffles with chili and fixins' is one of our favorite weeknight meals. Easy to make and the two flavors were meant to go together!

A FUN (AND TASTY WAY) TO EAT CHILI AND CORNBREAD!

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)

Mexican Style Cornbread Mix
milk
eggs
chili
sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese (for topping)

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
