How to Make Cornbread Waffles
Cook your ground sirloin in a large roaster or spaghetti pot. Use paper towels to remove excess fat.
Add in the Garlic salt, salt, and pepper and combine. mix in the onions and cook until brown.
Mix in the minced garlic and then, the Tomato juice.
Add in more salt and garlic salt and mix again.
Add in your drained and cleaned beans, ketchup, cumin, chili powder, and brown sugar.
Mix to combine and let simmer for about 2 to 3 hours.
Taste test the chili and add more of each of the salt, brown sugar, chili powder, or cumin depending on what you prefer. Adding chili will give the chili a stronger chili flavor and add a bit of heat, so if you want more of a chili flavor, add more cumin and if you want more heat, add the cumin and chili powder.
The Waffles
The average waffle iron takes about 8 minutes to make a decent waffle. Begin making the waffles ahead of time and keep them warm and uncovered in an oven set to 250 degrees.
Add both of the cornbread mixes into a large bowl. Go along with the directions of the cornbread and add the eggs and milk, then combine.
Use cooking spray to grease the waffle iron, and pour the batter onto the prepared iron.
When the waffles and chili are done, top the waffles with the chili and sprinkle some cheese on top.
Serve and Enjoy!

CHEESY CORNBREAD WAFFLES AND CHILI
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Sirloin
- 1 large sweet onion - chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
- 1 can Dark Red Kidney Beans - 15 - 17 ounces - Drained and rinsed
- 1 can Tomato Juice - about 44 - 50 ounces
- 1 cup Ketchup
- Garlic Salt - to taste
- Seasoned Salt - to taste
- Seasoned Pepper - sprinkled lightly on the Sirloin
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Chili powder
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
FOR THE CORNBREAD WAFFLES:
- 2 package Jiffy Cornbread mix
- Eggs
- Milk
- 1 cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- In a large roaster or a large Spaghetti pot, brown the Ground Sirloin, until it's completely done, and no pink is visible. Remove any fat with paper towels. Sprinkle the Ground Sirloin with Garlic Salt, Seasoned Salt, and Seasoned Pepper, and stir well. Add the Onion, and brown slightly. Add the minced Garlic. Add the Tomato Juice, and stir well. Sprinkle again with Garlic Salt, and Seasoned Salt. Stir again. Add the drained and rinsed Kidney Beans, Ketchup, Cumin, Chili Powder, and Brown Sugar. Stir well, and let simmer on low for 2 to 3 hours. Taste the Chili, and if you prefer a little more salt, or brown sugar, or chili powder, or Cumin, add a little more and stir. (Cumin will give the chili a true chili flavor, Chili Powder will give it great flavor, but also add heat. So if you want just the chili flavor, add more Cumin, if you want a little more heat, add Chili powder, and Cumin).
FOR THE WAFFLES:
- Most waffle irons take about 8 minutes to make a waffle, so depending on how many you need, I'd start early on making the waffles, or make them a little ahead, and keep them warm, uncovered in the oven at about 250 degrees.
- In a large bowl add the contents of both packages of Jiffy Cornbread mix. Following the package directions, add Eggs and Milk, and Stir well. Add cheese, and mix well to blend. Spray Waffle Iron with Cooking Spray, and add batter to the Waffle iron. When Waffles are done, place them on a plate, or dish, and keep warm in the oven until time to serve. Place a whole Waffle on a dinner plate, and top with chili, and shredded cheese. Serve, and Enjoy!
