Lentil Chili Pie With Cornbread Crust Recipes

CHILI PIE WITH CORNBREAD CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the beef; cook 3 minutes, or until browned, breaking up the meat to crumble. With a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a bowl; discard the excess fat. To the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers; cook 7 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic, chili powder, and ground chipotle. Cook 2 minutes, stirring. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook 3 minutes, or until the mixture is hot. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil; add to the cornmeal, stirring to combine. Fold half the serrano chiles into the batter. Pour over the beef mixture, spreading it to cover. Dot the top with the remaining serranos.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

• Pour the turkey chili into a 9-inch pie dish. In a bowl, whisk together the corn bread mix, milk, and egg until slightly lumpy; spoon the corn bread batter on top of the chili.

Stir in tomatoes and beans and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and oil in a large bowl. Add cornmeal, salt, and baking soda and stir together until batter is combined.
• Transfer meat mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend on top. Pour cornbread batter evenly over meat and arrange jalapeno slices on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread topping is evenly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

• Stir in beef and cook, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until no longer red, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices and beans, bring to a boil, and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

• To make the chili: In a large pot, cook the onion in oil for 10 minutes over low heat.
• Add in garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, thyme, paprika, and pepper flakes; cook/stir for 3 minutes.
• Stir in chicken broth, lentils, and tomatoes; simmer 40 minutes; add up to 1 cup water if mixture becomes dry.
• Add in bell pepper, celery; simmer 15 minutes longer (at this point the chili can be cooled and refrigerated; recommended because it becomes more flavorful).
• Turn chili into a 3-quart deep casserole (reheat first if refrigerated).

WINTER CHILI CORNBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• For the chili: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Toss together the garlic, poblano, cauliflower, mushrooms, salt, chili powder, olive oil, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and red pepper flakes on a rimmed sheet tray in a single layer. Roast the vegetables until browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the vegetables to a large pot and stir in the beans, tomatoes, BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the desired thickness, about 20 minutes total. Add a bit of broth or water for a looser chili.
• For the pizza: Reduce the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a rimmed half-sheet tray with the canola oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk in the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter until combined.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet tray. Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is light brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the chili and Cheddar, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the crust. Bake until the cornbread is done and the cheese is melted, about 10 more minutes.
• Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Top with jalapenos, sour cream and cilantro as desired.
