Very Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the Waffles and not the chili. We had them for breakfast. Very filling. My husband and I each ate 2 corners. It... made 4 full size Belgium Waffles. Perfect for eating and freezing for later in the week. This wouls also be great with a mixed berry syrup or other chunky style topping.Read more

Great Starter Chili
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Hey, If you've never cooked Chili before, this is the way to go. This was my first dive into the world of chili and I... must say... What a splash! I removed the beef for 100% Natural Ground Turkey (Butterball if anyone cares) and used one can of Bushes Hot Chili beans because I couldnt find the ranch style beans and man this made one hardy Chili. I was concerned about it not being hot enough so I added two drops of Blair's Ultra Death Sauce to kick it up a notch. Came out amazing. I read the reviews on hjow the waffles came out bland so I opted in for classic Jiffy cornbread muffins to balence out the heat with some sweet. Perfect dinner / lunch for the next day! Thanks Paula!Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first time making chili. Not only was it is super easy but it took no time at all! This recipe was delicious... with just the right amount of spice. I opted not to make the cornmeal waffles and substituted cornbread instead which was a great accompaniment to the spicy chili. I can't wait to make this again.!Read more

A crowd pleaser!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the chili, but not the waffles, for a girls party at my house and everyone raved over it! I did'nt use the corn and... instead of the ranch-style beans I used chili beans. This was the easiest chili to make and I will definitely have it again. I've already had 3 people call me for where to find the recipe. Yummy!!!Read more

Just use regular cornbread mix
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Chili is excellent and so easy to make. Waffles were a little bland, so now I just use a plain ol' Jiffy cornbread mix in... the waffle iron. My husband loves it; especially with some chopped jalepeno in the cornbread. Read more
