Kirsten's Cornbread-topped Chilli Beans 

CATEGORIES: Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Meat

Ingredients

  • canola or other oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 600g minced beef
  • 2 tsp instant beef powder
  • 2 x 420g cans Salsa Chilli
  • Beans (medium)

For the topping

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 50g soft, but not melted, butter
  • 1 can whole kernel corn (plus the liquid)
  • 1 cup cornmeal (polenta)
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 cup grated tasty cheese
  • 1 cup milk
 

Method

Coat a (large) slow cooker with non-stick spray and turn it on to High.

Heat a large frying pan on the stove and add a dash of canola oil, then the chopped onions. Cook on fairly high heat until the onions have browned, then tip them into the slow cooker.

Add a little extra oil, then the mince, broken into at least half a dozen 'blobs'. Raise the heat so the mince browns quite quickly, breaking it up as it cooks. Add it to the slow cooker too.

Sprinkle the instant beef stock over the mince, then pour in the contents of both cans of beans. Mix everything together, put on the lid and start the mixture cooking.

For the topping: Put all the ingredients, in the order given, into a bowl and stir to mix well.

Pour the mixture evenly over the mince mixture, sprinkle with some paprika for extra colour, then cover and cook on LOW for 8 hour or on HIGH for 4 hours.

Alison says

This is a great recipe to make in a fairly large slow cooker, and serve to your friends, since it feeds about 8 people. When there are 4 of us, we eat the first half and refrigerate or freeze the other half. The flavour of the reheated mixture is just as good, if not even better than the first lot! It's not too hot and spicy - it is certainly fine for teenagers and adults - but you may find it a bit too spicy for young children. We enjoy it in summer or winter, with a crisp green salad and cold beer!
