This dinner was a huge hit with my guys. I made a quick chili from frozen steak strips. We are fortunate enough to live near a meat packing plant that holds monthly dock sales open to the public. One month, they offered precooked steak strips for $1.50 per pound. Those became the base of our chili this evening.
The chili is pretty intense, and needs a side dish. Cornbread was always one of my favorites. I always liked the crunchy, browned ends the best, so I learned to make my cornbread mixes into waffles--way more edge! This recipe combines the ideas from other low carbers, but it is not quite the same as any I have seen before. Funny, it is easier, but I think I like it just as much...at least in a waffle iron.
