Thread: It's Chile Con Carne time bitches

Since this is the first spat of cold, rainy, foggy winter like day here in the middle of no where, Mrs X and I are doing our first batch of Chile.
Making it with some ground and cubed elk from a harvest a while back, and that Texas style chile makings in the brown paper bag from the market, (Albertsons up here). Have had the dry pinto and kidney beans soaking over night in water. and its all in the crock pot making the homestead smell insanely yummy.

Will garnish with cheese, green onion and a side of cracklin corn bread and maybe oyster crackers., Should be ready to eat about 3pm. Can't wait.

here are two different corn bread recipes we use in the x's homestead. both are killer and easy to make.

Cracklin Corn Bread

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees

put 1 1/2 tbsp crisco in 8-9 in round cake pan and put in oven whist it heats up
(if you are not worried about your arteries, you can use lard or bacon drippings)
in a bowl, mix together: 3/4 cup yellow corn meal
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
To dry mix add: 1/4 cup milk and 1 egg beaten together
Mix dry and wet stuff together well
Take pan with melted shortening out of oven and pour into mixture and mix again.
pour the whole mess into the cake pan and put in oven for about 20 mins.
Take it out and eat it.
If you like a sweeter or more cake like corn bread, adjust sugar and or baking power to taste.
