Chili Cups

This is my variation of Chili Cups. The original recipe can be found at $5 Dinners.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• can of tomato sauce, I believe it's 16 oz. its the next size up from 10 oz. ?
• packet of chili seasoning
• 1 bx Jiffy cornbread mix
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 egg

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown meat & drain.
• Add chili seasoning & tomato sauce. Simmer for 7-10 minutes.
• Mix Jiffy cornbread mix, milk & egg together.
• Using a muffin tin, put one spoonful of chili mixture to each cup. I use a 12 cup tin.
• Then put a spoonful of the cornbread mixture on top of each, leaving a small space at the top.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes before scooping out.
• The little bit of sweet taste from the cornbread is perfect!
• I usually have a bit of chili left, so the Hubby uses it for extra on his plate.
• Any other chili left over can be refrigerated and used for chili dogs the next night!
