Cornbread Waffles
Cornbread waffles may sound silly at first but they are a real treat! They are quick and easy to make, plus they compliment the chili and cheese toppings so well!
These waffles are made simple with cornmeal, flour, milk, eggs, baking soda and sugar. I always have all of the ingredients on hand.
They come together in a matter of minutes! This recipe will make 5 waffles!
Chili
The savory Cornbread Waffle with Chili is comfort food to the max! I use my homemade instant pot chili recipe that turns out delicious every time!
You can see my favorite chili recipe here! It’s a good one!
It’s an Instant Pot recipe but you can also make it on the stovetop! Whatever method you prefer is great.
You can also use any chili recipe that you have! Chili and cornbread go SO WELL together so I know you will love this combo!
Making the Cornbread Waffles
I have a double belgian waffle maker that makes cooking up waffles quick and easy! I love that I can cook two at a time.
For the temperature settings, I set mine to medium heat (which is a 3.5 on my number scale). We want the waffles to get golden in color and crispy, without burning.
Any waffle maker you have will work for this recipe! The amounts may vary depending on your size and depth of the grooves. You can adapt as necessary!
