    Chili with Cornbread Waffles

    Y’all are just going to have to trust me on this. A little kick and spice in the chili, plus a little sweet from the waffles…a totally party on the plate and on your palate. Also, I thought that I had some shredded cheese in the freezer to add on top of these waffles, but I must have used it all up without realizing their wasn’t another bag in the freezer. Doh. I just added some sliced cheese between the chili and waffles and it was perfectly delicious. Next time I make these, I’ll certainly be topping with sharp cheddar shredded cheese.

    Also, I’m so glad that I made 2 batches of these waffles. I made a batch with regular flour, as well as a batch with gluten free flour for my gluten-free/gluten-limited little dude. We had plenty leftover with requests to put them into lunchboxes. Win-win.

    (Note: I substituted 1:1 flour with this gluten free all purpose baking mix.)

    Hope y’all enjoy these!

        These look delicious, and I’m definitely going to try them. As a GF person, I just wanted you to know that unless you wash the waffle iron after making regular waffles, your GF waffles will be cross-contaminated. Ask me how I know. LOL (only, not funny.)
