with cheese of course! |
1 pound ground chicken (or whatever meat is on sale that week)
2 cans Hot Rotel
2 cans chickpeas
2 cans black beans
2 cans white beans
1 can corn (or frozen)
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 cup water
1 package taco seasoning
4 TBSP chili seasoning
corn bread waffles- optional
*note: if you use dried beans, you will need to add salt and possibly extra liquid.
Directions:
Brown the meat in a large pot. Add the taco seasoning, chili powder and stir to combine. Add the Rotel, beans and corn and all of their juices. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 1 hour. Combine the water and corn meal to create a thin paste, and stir into the chili to thicken. Cook 5-10 minutes more. Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. If the chili is too spicy, add a TBSP of sugar and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Add more sugar as needed (or don't use the hot Rotel if you don't like spicy food). Serve over a corn bread waffle and top with cheese. Makes 16 servings. Leftovers freeze great!
