The cornmeal waffles didn't have any corn taste whatsoever. I made my own chili recipe so I can't comment on that, but the waffles ended up just being a weird addition because they didn't contribute any flavor to the dish. Instead they just made it really heavy by soaking up all the chili liquid. I think next time we'll repeat this concept with a cornbread muffin mix that is stronger in flavor.

This is a great chili recipe. I made both the waffles and the chili for fall fest at church and won the chili cook off! First time I had ever tried to make this recipe. It was easy to prepare and reminded my husband of taco soup because of the corn. We have never put corn in chili, but it was quite tasty! I did put in one can of kidney beans for one of the ranch, just because I did not have 2 cans of ranch style beans.
