I live in Texas and there is a reason we have chili cook-offs...no one has the same recipe and we all think ours is the best. Sadly, I KNOW mine is the best so I don't even enter it in cook offs any more. (it's just not fair) Since this is meant to be a quick and easy chili and waffles recipe, I have given you a quick and easy chili I make when in a hurry and am not going to it cook all day. I will post my award winning recipe at a later date. And to be perfectly honest and not sarcastic, our chili recipe that cooks all day has won 4 blue ribbons in 5 chili cook-offs. THIS IS NOT THAT RECIPE but here is what you need:
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper diced (more if you like a hotter chili)
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 2 t. olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped (purple are great)
- 1 large green bell pepper chopped
- 1 T. chili powder
- 1 t. each of salt and pepper
- 1- 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 can pinto not drained
- red kidney beans not drained
- 1 cup water
Cook beef
over medium heat, drain, place in a medium pot and coat with salt, pepper and chili powder. Heat oil and
add onion, pepper and jalapeno to oil and cook until tender on a medium heat. Add to cooked beef and spices, along with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce, and simmer for
30 minutes. Serve over waffles.

| This is the GF cornbread I use and we really like it. If you want to make your chili EXTRA hot by adding more jalapenos, this is a great mix to use because it is very sweet. |
Spray your waffle iron and place batter inside until ready
If you REALLY REALLY want to be quick and easy, pick up some chili from Wendy's on your way home and make the waffles.
This is such a great, filling recipe and fun for the kids to help
make if you have little ones at home
