Chili Cups

2009-01-05T16:27:00.000-08:00

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!
