Cornbread recipe to go with a bowl of chili

13 years ago

I posted a question about a T&T Chili recipe for a party... and then thought that a big batch of cornbread would be great to go with the chili (as well as all the other soups/stews that will be here).

So.... what cornbread recipe do you use to go with chili? (Remember.... I'll be doubling or tripling the recipe.)

I've posted this one a couple of times before. It is a really good non-sweet cornbread.

Real Cornbread
From Butter Beans to Blackberries by Ronni Lundy

4 tablespoons drippings
2 cups fine ground white cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1 and 1/2 cups milk or buttermilk

Turn the oven on to 450 degrees. When it starts to get hot, put the drippings in a 9 inch cast iron skillet (or small cake pan, but a skillet is what you really want). Put the skillet in the oven and let it get really hot while you mix up the batter.

Mix cornmeal, salt, baking soda and baking powder together well in a bowl. Add the egg and milk and stir until just blended. Don't beat.

Remove the skillet from the oven and very carefully swirl the drippings around the pan to coat the inside. Drippings should be bubbly. If you're using butter and it's browned a bit, that fine. It'll make the cornbread yummy!

Pour the drippings into the cornbread batter, stir just enough to incorporate, pour the batter back into the skillet and pop into the oven. It will take 20-25 minutes for it to turn brown around the edges and get firm in the middle. Remove and turn upside down on a sturdy plate to turn the cornbread out. (If it sticks, you can serve it straight from the pan.) Pass while it's hot.

In the past, cornbread discussions have become rather heated. Just to save you some time, I've linked to a cornbread discussion from a couple of months ago.

Read and enjoy!

RECIPE: Looking for cornbread with sausage
Q

This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it has some of the same ingredients and is excellent so I thought you might be interested in trying this one too... It is a Paula Deen recipe Piggy Pudding 14 to 16 link pork sausages 2 large or 4 small apples (Yellow Delicious or Granny Smith); peel, core and slice 1 (8 1/2 oz.) package yellow cornbread mix Ingredients to prepare cornbread mix Sage to garnish and maple syrup for serving Preheat oven to 400Â°. Cut sausage links into bite-size pieces and pierce with a fork to let the fat out as they cook. Brown sausage links in a skillet until no longer pink; drain well on paper towels and lay in a single layer in the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Arrange apples on top of sausages. Prepare cornbread according to directions on the box and pour over all. Sprinkle with finely minced sage for garnish. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until cornbread is golden and cooked through. Serve warm with maple syrup. *Recipe from Paula Deen. Her recipe called for an oven temperature of 450Â° and bake 30 minutes in an ungreased pan (cornbread was getting too brown on top and still soggy in the middle). She also left the sausages whole and used tart apples such as Granny Smith. Garnished with sage after baking. Marilyn

My DD used to use the corn bread mix to make this casserole when we had a houseful of hungry teens to feed: CORN DOG CASSEROLE (12 servings) 1 cup thinly sliced celery 1 1/2 cups chopped onions 3 Tbs. butter or margarine 1 1/2 lbs. hot dogs 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 tsp. sage or poultry seasoning (I only use 1/4 tsp.) 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 packages (8 Â½ oz. each) corn bread/muffin mix 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese, divided In a skillet, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine over med-low heat until soft but not browned. Place in bowl; set aside. Cut hot dogs lengthwise into quarters, then cut into thirds. In the same skillet, saute the hot dogs for 5 minutes or until lightly browned; add to vegetables. Set aside 1 cup of mixture. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, sage and pepper. Add the larger quantity of the hot dog mixture. Stir in corn bread mixes and 1 1/ 2 cups of cheese. Spread into a shallow greased 3 quart baking dish. Top with the 1 cup of reserved hot dog mixture and 1/ 2 cup of cheese. Bake, uncovered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

I like to throw in some chopped chiles--even canned ones will do. O, and corn kernels. Of course you can throw those in any recipe.

My favorite recipe for a savory (as opposed to sweet) cornbread is very similar to Jim's, above. It's from Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads. I use this recipe when I make cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving; a quadruple recipe just barely fits into a 5 quart KitchenAid mixer bowl, and into an 11 x 14 pan. Absolutely delicious. If you have access to freshly ground corn meal, it'll be plenty sweet. So try to buy your meal in a store that seems to have a good turnover of corn meal.

2 eggs, room temp
2 cups buttermilk, room temp
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups white cornmeal (but yellow is okay, too)
1 1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven and baking utensil (skillet or 9 x 9 pan) to 450 while mixing batter.

In a small bowl beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk. In a mixer bowl, mix the baking soda, cornmeal and salt. Pour in the egg-buttermilk mixture and mix well until smooth.

Pour batter into the preheated pan, return to oven for 20 to 25 minutes. It's done when a knife inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean & dry.
