Can I just tell you how excited I am that Halloween is just a little over a week away? Whoop! Whoop! It's one of my favorite days of the year! Ever since the girls were little, we've been following the same Halloween traditions. The day before, we find a Trunk or Treat to attend. The church down the road usually does one, so we don't have to go far. The day of, my best friend brings her kids to my house and we take them around the neighborhood for candy. Afterwards, we go go to my mother-in-laws for her yearly chili dinner. I've been thinking about Halloween a lot lately, and with that my mind always gravitates towards chili. Why? Because it's yum! And it's tradition. Last week, I decided to curb my craving and made some Chili with Cornbread Topping from Golden Blossom Honey. And, it was just as yummy as what my mother-in-law makes!
Ingredients
Chili: 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef cubes, cut into small pieces

Do you have a traditional dinner you eat every Halloween?
Oh my I've never eaten anything like this before... next year when I cut down on work, I really must try out more of your recipes!!!!
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
And you will be able to make more fun crafts with Lil Pumpkin too! Yay for more family time!
DeleteSounds like a hearty meal! I bet it wasn't easy washing that casserole after the baking :)
ReplyDeleteIf you get it right away, it's not too bad. I learned the hard way never to reheat in the same dish though. That's when it turns into a real chore!
Deletemy tip is to use the same technique as with cakes when you oil it and flour it before, but with savoury dishes you use breadcrumbs instead of flour... it gives a lovely crust and doesn't get stuck to the dish itself
DeleteYou are such a handy kitchen buddy to have around. Love this tip and will be sure to incorporate it in my next casserole dish!
DeleteI need to publish a cookbook :)
DeleteFinished Honey Booboo today, by the way :) and washed his belly and will pour some forest honey in him so that he isn't hungry.
Just a little over a week away??????? I need my time-machine. NOW!
ReplyDeleteGreat Scott! Come pick me up in that time-machine too so I can take back my bet on the Cubs winning the world series this year!
DeleteThe Halloween Nazi excited for it? I never would have guessed lol
ReplyDeleteYou know it, Pat!
DeleteWe usually pick up Papa Murphy's pizza. My hubby stays home to hand out candy, while I and my friend bring our kids around the neighborhood. As we are ready to head back, I text hubby to get the oven ready, so that way we have a nice, hot pizza ready within minutes of us walking in the door. :) Easy peasy!!
ReplyDeleteThe cornbread chili looks amazing. We were just talking about trying to find a good chili recipe the other night...now I have one.
Our Papa Murphy's closed a few years back. Makes me so sad since we really loved their pizza. Seems a lot of our restaurants aren't sticking around here lately. People must not be eating out as often as they once were. Too bad, since it seems I am losing all my favorites :(
DeleteWe don't have a traditional one. I suppose we should get one. Sometimes I do something in the crock pot to make dinner go quick, but not always.
ReplyDeleteIf we didn't go to the in-laws, I'd do the crock pot too. It would be so nice to already have a hot dinner waiting in the pot as soon as you get in from a cold night out trick-or-treating!
DeleteThat's different (in a good way). I make my chili in the crockpot, but need to try this next time!
ReplyDeleteWe love chili and we love cornbread, so I was fascinated by the fact you could bake it altogether!
DeleteHoney.. that is new! This looks fantastic! I don't have enough chili in my life.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy. We have always had Sloppy Joe's on Halloween. It is a tradition my mom started when I was little and I have continued it. Catherine S
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the Golden Blossom honey in the cornbread crust. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOhh this sounds so delicious - I've not really tried anything quite like it before. x
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely on board with this tradition. The chili looks awesome! I would love to make it with cornbread on top like that!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great new tradition! It's a perfect Halloween treat, especially with the yummy cornbread!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great tradition. Chili looks good, really perfect for halloween treat.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great tradition. We love chili at our house! Amber N
ReplyDeleteYour chili recipe sounds delish! Halloween is one of my fave times of the year too.
ReplyDeleteYum. My grandparents used to make Chili on Halloween every year when I was a kid. I didn't eat it but all my siblings did and we always looked forward to going to their house for it after we got treats! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I love adding honey to recipes when I can
ReplyDeleteHalloween Chili sounds so delicious. I will have to try it this year. We usually order a pizza so we have more time to get ready. I would rather the kids eat a nice hearty meal like this.
ReplyDeleteI just had Chili tonight. Chicken Chili and it was pretty darn good.
ReplyDeletei have heard of chili and corn bread on the side before but not cooked together. This recipe sounds amazing - yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made one as good as your mother-in-law's. Chili does hit the spot when it's chilly outside. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Halloween too. It is "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" LOL Your chili recipe looks very rich and delicious! Going to pin this one!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely yummy & delicious. Having the Golden Blossom honey in the cornbread crust is a wonderful choice & this could be a great meal for a family & my kids would love it so much.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a traditional chili because I don't eat beef. Your recipe however looks really good and I am almost tempted to try it.
ReplyDeleteYum, yum! Great winter foods.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Trunk or Treat was such a widespread ritual. That's awesome, and sounds really fun. I look forward to pictures of your family's Halloween.
Have a great week, Theresa.
I think I'm going to try this for Halloween night. It's either this, or fast food. I need something quick. I can make the chili part the night before. :)
ReplyDeleteI never heard of it before but more than happy to try..I love spicy food :)
