COOK AND CLEAN WITH ME | SOUTHERN RECIPES | CHILI AND CORNBREAD

Thanks for coming to hang out during this cook and clean with me! I'm making some southern dishes today - chili and cornbread. I've got the recipes below. They've been in our family for quite a while and I'm so happy to share them with y'all so you can enjoy them too!

Chili Recipe:

1 medium onion, chopped
1 - 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
2 tbsp. veg. oil
16 oz can of diced tomatoes
8 oz tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
16 oz can of chili beans (or kidney or pinto beans)
1.5 tbsp chili powder
1.5 tsp salt
(dash of red pepper flakes for extra spice if you want)

Brown onion and beef in oil in a pan/skillet. (Drain ground beef if needed). Add beef/onions, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, ketchup, beans, chili powder, and salt to a 4 qt pot. Stir well, simmer covered for 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Add water to thin out if you feel it's too thick)

Cornbread recipe:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2.5 cups self-rising cornmeal
2 eggs
1/2 (half) cup Crisco shortening
2 tbsp Crisco (to grease skillet)
2 cups whole buttermilk

Heavily coat skillet with 2 tbsp of Crisco and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix together: cornmeal, eggs and 1/2 cup Crisco; using a pastry cutter in a downward circular motion, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk, mix with fork until well blended. Pour into the greased skillet. Place on bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until bread is golden brown and the sides have pulled away from the pan. Remove from oven. Shimmy pan to make sure the bread is loose. While hot, flip bread onto plate. Slice and serve!

Miss Mandy! Girl! You SAVED my cornbread game! Or I should say you gave me some cornbread game 😅! This cornbread came out light and moist and did not stick or fall apart. It was beautiful.❤ Thank you!

[EGH]

I decided I loved your cooking show when you made your cornbread without sugar! Thank you!

[rudyrutubec]

Mandy, our cornbread looks just alike. Only I use Duke's mayonnaise instead of Crisco. I do however grease my skillet with Crisco just like you. You're the only other person I know who doesn't preheat the skillet before pouring in the batter. It makes for the best crust the way we do it. There is nothing like fresh hot cornbread right out of the oven with butter! I am a newer subscriber and am enjoying all of your recipes and your sweet family, including Gracie. We are also from upstate SC.

Hi Mandy! I've been watching you for almost 4 years now, I love your videos! I planned on making this cornbread this week with some chili, but was wondering what size skillet you use for the cornbread. Thanks in advance and have a great week! ☺💕

[joannhutchinson]

Clean as you go. Yep I do the same thing

[lorrainecray]

Mandy you don’t have little cleanup elves either 🤣😂🤣😂 just like me 😇

[sonjaweekley]

Try putting your skillet in the oven while it preheats. Gives the cornbread a really nice crust.

Thank you you guys make me feel like family! Course it probably helps that I am in North Carolina into hay Carolinas Carolina Mandy try to come up with a knock off for the chili that’s on Wendy’s Carolina classic. I think I have the slaw recipe down I’ll try to send that to you later but I would love the chili that’s on the classic. I don’t like the chili that Wendy serves his chili but I like.😇🙏♥️

[juliebradley]

I'm catching up watching your old videos and I love the idea you shared about cake plate to keep cornbread!!! I will definitely do it this way from now on! Thanks for sharing all these videos! I keep sending them to my friends and family! God bless y'all! 😃

[sallyjones]

I just made your cornbread for this first time today. My family fell in love with it, so the cornbread I have been making for 50 years will be no longer be made in this house. We have a new best favorite. My son who doesn't care for cornbread even asked to take the left overs home. Thank you so much for sharing

[pamelacody]

Yummy chili cornbread and sweet tea!!!

[mallymakings]

WOW! That looks delicious. I’ve never tried cornbread, it’s not something we have in England. PLEASE do more cooking videos, especially Southern food. I’ve been lucky enough to visit America and went to the South. Oh my goodness, the welcome, the friendliness, the beauty. It’s touched my heart and will stay with me forever. Thank You for sharing.xxx

[jenmlr]

Looks yummy! I love our southern family recipes that have been in the family for years!

[_Mrs_Sanchez]

We make our. Chili the same except I never tried ketchup before. And what a good idea for greasing your skillet with that plastic baggie! I always just spooned it in the skillet and used my hand to smear it around...your idea is awesome!

[janeray]
