That’s right- cornbread WAFFLES. When you’re in a pinch, either time wise or budget wise, chili and cornbread is the way to go. The cheap meal can get pretty boring though, right? That is why I decided to switch it up and throw the cornbread batter on the waffle maker and see what would happen. Turns out, it makes some pretty great waffles! Finish the meal by topping the waffles with chili and toppings. Cheap, easy and fun!

*I used prepared canned chili (because it was on sale), but you can find my simple Crockpot chili recipe here!*
