Foodie Friday: Chili & Cornbread Recipes For The Big Game & Beyond



The big game is finally here. Superbowl LII happens this Sunday. I may not be the world's biggest football fan, though I do know who is playing. Most of all I love the hoopla, the entertainment, and the food. There's nothing more comforting than a big bowl of chili on a cold Winter Sunday. And one simply can't have chili without some cornbread to dip into it. So this recipe roundup features both chili and cornbread that go beyond the norm. Think Cornbread with Maple Bacon Butter, Chicken Chili Con Carne Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins, and more. Scroll down for some super inspiration.


Sur La Table

HERE: 21 Recipes That Score

Steak and Soda Chili
Now this is what chili should look like. It's made with one can of Dr. Pepper, if you can believe. So very interesting!

Buffalo Chicken Chili
This hearty one pot meal can be put together and ready to eat in one hour. The "buffalo" part of the chili comes from the addition of prepared ranch dressing.

 Bacon Cheddar Cornbread
So this looks hard to beat. It's made with six slices of thick cut bacon. How could it be bad?

Ancho Chorizo Chili
This chili gets its' "oomph" from chorizo sausage, fire roasted tomatoes, and a generous amount of Ancho powder. Perfect for those who love their chili with a Mexican vibe.

Creamy Vegetarian White Chili
It sure looks filling and cozy, doesn't it? You can easily make this vegan by swapping out the whole milk for your favorite non-dairy milk.

Cornbread with Maple Bacon Butter
Oh my! How unusual is this cornbread? I can attest that adding maple butter on top of cornbread is absolutely delicious!

Crockpot Carne Asada Beer Chili
This is just like a carne asada taco, but in chili form. The recipe calls for cooking the meat all day, and then topping it with seasoned baked potato wedges, and every other topping you can think of! Oh Yum!

Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
{ Gluten Free, Vegetarian }
Healthier than your average cornbread, and it comes together in less than 30 minutes.

Slow Cooker Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
This one sounds delicious. To make it even healthier, use ground Turkey Breast, instead of plain Ground Turkey. You will cut out about 80% of the fat.

White Chicken Chili
This recipe features easy prep, creamy texture, and healthy ingredients. This is not a spicy recipe, but you can always spice it up to your liking. it also calls for the use of an Immersion blender. If you don't have one, Williams Sonoma has some on sale.

Raspberry Chipotle Black Bean Chili Recipe
The secret to this chili are the frozen raspberries. How unique! It is perfect for vegetarians as there is no meat in the ingredient list.

Chicken Chili Con Carne Stuffed 
Sweet Potato Skins
Here's a half way healthy game day appetizer. They are said to be easy peasy. They really are cute, too.

Crockpot Paleo Chili
If you started a healthy diet regime for the New Year, you can keep on track for the Superbowl! According to the author, "This dish is a delicious, incredibly easy, and healthy version of the perfect Super Bowl Sunday supper." 
It's made with both Chuck Roast and ground beef. Looks delish!

Cheddar and Jalapeño Skillet Cornbread
My Mom made her corn bread in a skillet. It was so good, but probably not as yummy as this recipe. It's said to be crispy on the bottom (makes sense) and moist on the inside. Perfect!

Smoky BBQ Bourbon Crock Pot 
Chicken Chili
I have a feeling that this recipe might be requested this weekend. It must be fork tender, as it cooks for 10 hours. The bourbon will take it up a notch!

Chili Cheese Polenta Bowls
The fun to this recipe is the layering of cheesy polenta, chili, cheese, limes, chips and all that. I personally adore polenta, so this recipe is on a must try list! Click though to see a great step by step video.

Lee Bailey's Sour Cream Corn Bread
A simple recipe that can be cooked in a skillet or not. It is bound to be moist with a cup of sour cream and a can  (yikes) of creamed corn. Creamed corn sounds great, but I would make my own to avoid the chemicals and sodium of canned anything! 

Seafood Chili
Oh this bowl has my name written all over it. It's a twist on a classic with fresh veggies and seafood.The added lime gives this recipe pizazz!

Chili Cheese Dogs
And for Mr. Shop This.....his absolute favorite. You have to love those Fritos on the side, too.

Stovetop Chili Mac Casserole
The only thing better than mac and cheese is chili mac! It's perfect for game day or any day of the week!

Caramel Pecan Cornbread Pudding
Have you ever thought of cornbread as dessert? It's like bread pudding but made with cornbread. I'm game for this gooey dessert!
