Bacon And Red Chili Pancakes Recipes

CORNMEAL PANCAKES WITH SAUSAGE AND BACON CHILI

Steps:

• Cook the bacon to brown, stirring often. Remove from pan keeping the fat in the pan. Cook the sausage breaking it apart and stirring, until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan. Remove excess fat from the pan so there is only a thin layer.
• Add the butter to the pan and cook the onion and jalapeno for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook 2 minutes. Add the meats back to the pan and stir and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomato, milk, stock, coffee, oregano, and some salt and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook about 2 hours.
• Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Whisk the wet ingredients really well to combine. Add them to the dry ingredients and stir well. Add a little more liquid if needed.
• Griddle the pancakes, a few at a time or as many as you can fit in your pan or griddle, on both sides to lightly brown and cook through. As you finish, put them into the oven on low heat to stay warm while you finish the remaining pancakes.
• To serve, put the pancakes on a plate and top with a big scoop of chili and whichever of the other toppings you want.

BACON AND RED CHILI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Place chili peppers on foil.
• Roast peppers on all sides with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat until charred and blistered, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap 10 minutes. Carefully peel charred skin from peppers, then cut off stems, and remove seeds. Finely chop peppers.
• In large bowl, mix Bisquick mix, cornmeal, bacon, onion, brown sugar, milk, egg and chopped peppers. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Heat 10-inch or larger skillet or griddle over medium heat (325°F). Brush lightly with oil. Pour batter by slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot skillet. Cook until golden on bottom and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes; turn, and cook another 2 minutes or until set. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve warm with a fried egg and salt and pepper on top.

• Sift flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.
• Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and whisk until blended and smooth. (Note: Be careful not to overmix.).
• Lightly coat bottom of nonstick large skillet with cooking spray or oil. Heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup batter into skillet.
• Working quickly, distribute a small amount of bacon, green chiles, scallions, jalapeños and cheddar cheese throughout the cooking pancake.
• Once the bottom of the pancake is golden, after about 1 1/2 minutes, turn pancakes and cook until second sides are golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Repeat with remaining batter and remaining pancake filling until done.

• Add remaining beef and cook, breaking up pieces with wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add beans, tomatoes, tomato puree, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Remove cover and continue to simmer 1 hour longer, stirring occasionally (if chili begins to stick to bottom of pot, stir in 1/2 cup water and continue to simmer), until beef is tender and chili is dark, rich, and slightly thickened.
