I found this idea on Pinterest one day, courtesy of Paula Deen. It sounded so good, and pretty easy.  So I had to give it a whirl.  It was a huge success with the whole family.  It was super easy to make too.

Waffles- use the jiffy cornbread mix and follow directions to make waffles =)
(One box will make about 3 waffles the size in my picture so you will probably need 2 boxes)

Chili: use your favorite recipe or use mine =)
1 pound lean ground chuck, browned
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tablespoons chili powder (depending on how spicy you like it)
1 1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 tsp basil
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans beans (chilli and kidney)
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can niblet corn, drained (optional)
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies 

Combine all the ingredients in a pot and let simmer for 1 hour.


Top the waffles with chili, then garnish with cheese and sour cream and enjoy!  Easy, huh?!  If you don't like to make chili, use the canned stuff and it will still be great.  So pretty much, If you can mix a box of waffles and cook them, you can make this. =)  Plus, both waffles and chili freeze great so freeze the extras and you will have a meal later.
