Chili and Cornbread


Ella

2 cans (27 oz each) dark red kidney beans, drained
2 lbs ground beef, browned, drain fat
2 cans (16 oz each) stewed tomatoes (I like to pour entire can in blender and chop for a few seconds)
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 green pepper, chopped
1-2 onions, chopped
2-3 tsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin

Put all ingredients in slow cooker and mix.  Cook on low all day.  Serve with chopped onions and grated cheese.

This is my grandmother's recipe.  I love cooking something my mother and grandmother have cooked.

Marie Calendar's Cornbread

2 eggs, beaten
1 c milk
1 cube (1/2 c) soft butter
2 c bisquick
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray.  Mix the first three ingredients together then add the next four ingredients.  Pour mix into pan.  Bake for 30.

This is best served with honey butter.  Mix 2-3 tbsp (or more to taste) of honey into a 1/2 c softened butter.
