Megan's Famous Chile!! With Sweet Cornbread...

My favorite Chile recipe…I invented it myself!! It can go along with the 'soup' theme...

1 lb hamburger
1 lb country style sausage
Note: anything canned goes in with all juices, etc…
3 16 oz cans Mexican stewed tomatoes…( I chop them up)
1 large can chile beans or red kidney beans (i use both...to mix it up)
2 small cans same as above (beans)
2 bell peppers red and yellow
½ onion diced
1 tsp hot chile powder or to taste
1packet McCormick chile seasoning
1 can chile con carne (no beans) I prefer Nallys
(wait...don't dump this in...just a little) A jar of Trappy’s peppers…should be in the pickle/olive area of the grocery store. I pour in a little juice and cut up a couple peppers to put in chile. (they’re hot)
(the above ingredients...trappys peppers and chile powder...make it really spicy...if you don't like spicy...HOT...add less.)
This is pivotal to the recipe…and makes it perfect… 1 small can white or yellow hominy

Brown hamburger and sausage, drain fat. Add everything else, and stew for an hour or so. It’s great with a little cheese on top…(what isn’t?) I serve it with warm, sweet, cornbread… here’s the recipe. It’s moist and delicious. Nothing worse than DRY cornbread.

1 ½ C flour
1/3 C granulated sugar
½ C Corn Meal (yellow or white)
1 T baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ¼ C milk
2 eggs
1/3 C vegetable oil
3 T butter melted

Pour into greased 8 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 35 min or until lightly browned and toothpick comes out clean.
