Cornbread Waffles: An Easy Side for Chili & Soup

Sometimes the simplest ideas become the ones you make again and again. These Cornbread Waffles take an ordinary box of cornbread mix and turn it into a warm, crisp side that’s especially good with chili, soup, or stew.

Instead of baking the cornbread in a pan or muffin tin, I spoon the batter right into a hot waffle iron. You get those wonderful golden edges and little pockets that are perfect alongside a hearty bowl of supper.

For this week’s Welcome Home Wednesday, I served them with John’s Chili, shredded cheese, and sour cream. It’s an easy way to make a familiar meal feel just a little more special—and there’s no extra fuss involved.
