Cornbread Dressing and Chili...A great way to utilize leftovers while making your football watch party favorites. Combine these two meals into one!
I always make extra dressing because it is a family favorite! Simply place the Cornbread dressing in the center of the bowl and surround it with hot and hearty Chili! 🌶

Pre-Heat oven at 450
Take a paper towel (prior to placing the Iron Skillet in Oven w/o ingredients) and wipe a layer of Vegetable Oil, covering the inner surface of 6” Iron Skillet. Once Oven is preheated place in the oven for 5-6 minutes.
Mix in Bowl : 2 Cups Martha White Self Rising Cornmeal Mix Hot Rise 1 3/4 Cups of Buttermilk 1 Egg ¼ Cup pure vegetable oil 6” Iron Skillet The recipe calls for two cakes (bake one cake at a time)
Better to have it moist than too dry. Once stirred and mixed check to see if the mixture will pour well. If too thick add Buttermilk and mix in.
Use heavily padded Hot Pads to remove skillet. Place on top of the stove and pour in the mix. If it is hot enough it should sizzle. Cook for 20 minutes. Take a wooden spoon and check the middle of the cake for firmness. If not firm keep checking in 3 minutes intervals. When ready you should see browning around the edges of the cake. Once each cake is ready to place on towels or plate to cool.
