Corn Puddin’ & Chili

Fall Chili with Corn Puddin’ is the easiest and most requested dish from Kris Hutcheson’s family recipes. Horse Stamp Inn owner with husband Tom, she prepares her dish from scratch for family and friends who often stop into the Inn during the beautiful coastal Georgia Fall season.  She proclaims that it’s also the whipped honey butter that makes her signature Corn Puddin’ totally irresistible!

G’Ma’s Fall Chili with Corn Puddin’
As any good recipe that has been passed down, there are some ingredients that are “to taste”. This recipe is no exception.

Blend 4 cans of stewed tomatoes and put in a large pot on medium low.
Brown 1 lb. of lean ground beef with 1/2 of a yellow onion that has been diced.
Add the beef and onions to the tomatoes. Add one can of black beans, drained, and one can of black beans, also drained.

 

Put on simmer and begin to add the following ingredients “to taste”:
salt and pepper
garlic powder
chili pepper
a couple DASHES chipotle chili pepper ( can tend to overtake the chili but is very worth pursuing in small amounts)

Allow to simmer, covered,  for about 20 minutes. Turn off and let sit for about 30 minutes covered and taste. Can’t explain why this works but it does. Uncover and add additional spices as needed. Simmer another 30 minutes uncovered and then serve with(all optional of course):

Chopped red onion
Grated cheddar or monterey jack cheese
Sour cream
Chopped avocado
Tortilla chips or Fritos (broken into the chili)

Also great served with warm tortillas and honey butter.

1 cup flour
2 TB sugar
