Foodie Friday: Chili 12 Ways & A Few Cornbread Recipes

 As soon as the calendar says Fall, I find myself craving chili. I think "Mr. and Miss Shop This" might agree, Chili is one of my specialties. There are three ingredients that I always include: chocolate, beer, and a side of corn bread. The rest varies depending on mood. Won't you join me in a big bowl of hot chili? These recipes will get you in the mood for Fall food!

HERE: 16 Chili & Cornbread Recipes

Award Winning Chili

I think that this is how every bowl of chili should look like. Yes, I like mine fully loaded. Get up early to make this, as it cooks for 8 hours!

The Modern Proper

Fire & Ice Chili

The not so secret ingredient to this recipe is dark chocolate ice cream! The author says the depth of flavor that it adds to the chili is "insane." I can believe that. I always add chocolate to mine. Click to read more about this 

magical recipe.

How Sweet Eats

Chili Cheese Steak Stew

Doesn't this just look like a bowl of love! It's made with shaved sirloin, like the kind that is in a Philly Cheese steak sandwich. Can you believe that I have never had one of those? There's also yummy additions like chipotle pepper in adobo and all of that cheese!

The Cozy Apron

Chili Meatballs In A Black Bean & Tomato Sauce

This sounds so very good. And the sprinkled Crispy Chorizo is just the topping this dish needs!

Epicurious

Buttermilk Skillet Cornbread with Tomatoes and Scallions

Upgrade your cornbread to this fancy-ish recipe. I think you will want to eat it with a spoon.

Pure Wow

Seafood Chili in Tortilla Cups

Wow! This looks and sounds delicious! You need to plan ahead as the beans need to be soaked over night. A great starter

 or appetizer!

Cooking Chanel TV

Crockpot Carne Asada Beer Chili

Is there any other way to make chili than with beer? I always get two cans out. One for the pot and one for the chef (me) and sous chef to split. This recipe begins with flank steak and goes up from there. Those fritos? Super good in chili.

Half Baked Harvest

Zoe Nathan’s Bacon Cheddar Muffins

At heart these are corn muffins with a little extra something!

Design Sponge

Rotisserie White Chicken Chili 

Paprika and Cayenne give this easy recipe it's color and depth of flavor. Best yet, you can buy the chicken already cooked! 

Brown Eyed Baker

Slow Cooker Turkey Sweet Potato Chili
The recipe calls for ground turkey, but doesn't say dark meat or breast. If you are watching fat content, get the turkey breast. Your chili will be done in four hours when cooked on high or 8 hours on the low setting. 

Heather Christo

Pepper Jack–Bacon Cornbread

If you can believe this recipe calls for a box mix. So it could not be easier.  I will add that I think the boxed mixes need a pinch or two of sugar.

Woman's Day

Award Winning Instant Pot Chili Recipe

This recipe is full of bacon, ground beef, beans, and all the toppings you want! Because it is made in the Instant Pot, it's done in one hour!

Oh Sweet Basil

Smoky Pulled Pork Chili 

You use leftover pork shoulder as your meat in this smoky  sweet recipe. Don't worry if you like a little kick in your chili, this one packs just a 

touch of heat.

Simply Scratch

Sweet Potato and White Bean 

Chili With Sage

This is a hearty vegetarian  chili that's perfect for a meatless Monday. Can you imagine how the kitchen will smell with the sage?

Williams Sonoma

Slow Cooker Black Bean Quinoa Pumpkin Chicken Chili

How's that for a mouthful? It's gluten free and creamy thanks to the slightly sweet pumpkin added. Very unique!

Ambitious Kitchen

Farmers Market Corn Bread

Gluten Free

What a gorgeous and healthy looking dish! Besides the fresh veggies, it's loaded with feta cheese. I bet any kind of cheese would work just as well.
