This is the 1st EVER chili TD on THP!
 
Chili and Cornbread!

 
This is not about competition-style chili, this is all about the comfort food that you love! Nobody defines your comfort food!
  • Make a pot of chili, anything goes with your chili. Beef, alternative meats, verde, and vegan/vegetarian welcome.
  • Make a cornbread from scratch to accompany the chili (no mixes, from scratch only). Your cornbread must be defined as a cornbread mixture before cooking, but can be cooked in any way. Cast iron, deep fried as fritters, even as a corndog. Unique shapes such as cornbread bowls, pockets welcome. And we are looking for creative cornbread here. Jalapeno, cheese, meats, but you guys can do better than that... let's see something original or simply undeniable.
Bottom line: Be traditional or creative with either! It's up to you how you want to play it.
 
Plating:
  • Chili must be presented in a cup or bowl preferably placed on a plate.
  • Cornbread element must be on the same plate or a separate plate.
  • Some of the chili must be spooned out in a thin layer on the cornbread side (or plate). This is to show all the bits and goodness in the chili, so it can be on the cornbread, under it, over it, or next to it. If chili is "in" the cornbread, we still need to see a thin layer.
IF there is more than one verde entry there will be a separate verde poll.
IF there is more than one vegan/vegetarian entry, there will be a separate v/v poll.
 
Please post your accurate (or ballparked if you must) measurements so these epic creations can be duplicated!
