Well with my Mom back home everything is getting back to normal! Went and bought a couple of Christmas Wreaths, for the door and and outside lamp-post. Then finished up a few decorations on the inside and finished wrapping a few gifts. I wanted 3 Bean Buffalo Chili for dinner tonight but Mom and Dad wanted something different. So for me the 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and for Mom and Dad Breaded Cube Steak, Cream Style Corn, and Green Beans with New Potatoes. I also made some Johnny Cakes for everyone.
The Chili has Wild Idea Buffalo Lean Ground Buffalo, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Chili Beans, Great Northern White Beans, and ton of great Spices! Just put it in the Crock Pot, on low, for about 8 hours and you got you some mighty tasty Chili! The Wild Idea Ground Buffalo has such a unique flavor, an almost sweet taste to it. I left the full recipe at the bottom of the post. The longer the Chili simmers the more incredible aroma fills the kitchen!As usual I made a Crock Pot full of the Chili so I can have it for dinner, maybe a Chili and Cheese Omelet, lunch, and plenty to freeze!
As the Chili was heating up I made some Johnny Cakes. To prepare these all you’ll need is: Pam w/ Olive Oil Non – Stick Spray, 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk, and 2 cups Martha White Self Rising Enriched White Corn Meal Mix. Just mix all your ingredients in a large bowl. Spray your Pam on a Flat Top Griddle or large Skillet and preheat on medium low, I use the Flat Top Griddle. When the Griddle is heated add your batter. You can make the Cakes any size you want from half-dollar size to regular pancake size cakes. After the bottom side turns golden brown flip over and let the other side get golden brown. To serve I placed mine on a plate and topped it with my 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and Shredded Cheese. And now it’s Comfort Food Heaven! The Chili is a perfect pairing with Cornbread no matter how you prepare your Cornbread. At the bottom of the post I left a little history on the “Johnny Cakes”. There are various ways to fix Johnny Cakes, I make mine using the Martha White Corn Meal Mix. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
