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

Awesome Chili
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of the best and easiest chili recipes. We needed a little more spice so we had to add some more chili powder. ... Great chili recipe that is fast and easy. 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

Stop me before I waffle again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just bought my first waffle iron and it is all Alton's fault. He recommended a waffle iron I had never seen before and then... wouldn't you know it, I found one for 80% off at a store. I now can't stop making waffles- good thing they are freezable. This cornmeal waffle is my favorite! I love the crunch. It is the best of both worlds, crunchy like corn bread and soft and pancakey on the inside. I didn't want it with the chili so I added a bit more sugar. I'm actually eating one right now. Read more

great fast chili
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The chili in this recipe was fast and easy to make, and it tasted wonderful. I never made the waffles and instead put the... chili over biscuits. It was an awesome, fast dinner the whole family enjoyed.Read more
