ChhChhChhili....or baby it's cold out tonight

After a glorious Indian Summer last weekend, we're into real fall weather. Overcast, damp, and chilly. Comfort food is definitely called for. Tonight's offering is beef chili and cornbread.

The chili consists of sauteed onions, garlic, celery, yellow pepper, diced seasoned tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, browned ground beef, maple baked beans, kidney beans, pepper, salt, chili powder and onion soup mix. Combine all in large pot over medium heat. Cook for 1/2 hour to combine flavours. The cornbread is: 3./4 c flour, 1/4 c sugar, 1 c cornmeal, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt mixed in large bowl. 1 c milk, 1/4 c veg oil and 1 egg whisked and added to dry mixture. Whisked to combine. Turned out into greased 8" pan. Baked at 375 F for 25-30 min.

Photos could def'ly be better - my lense steamed up :_)
