I think 1 cup of corn meal is about 128 grams so about a cup and a half. It’s hard to say as it will probably depend on the mix.

This looks really good and I plan to make it soon, I just have a question. I don’t have any of the vita mix for cornbread so I would buy one store bought. I don’t have my food scale anymore, so how much would 185 grams be using cups??
Thanks. :)

Amy,

You could do something like the crust from my mexican pie..

You could also use a different mix.

As for the book, it’s available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble online. Both ship to canada but I’m unsure of the fees involved.

Hope that helps!

I am wondering if there are any suggestions for what to put on top if you cant find the vitamix? I am living in NOva Scotia and cant seem to find it other than on line from the States, which makes it quite expensive for shipping.

Also, is you cookbook available in Canada? Also, interested as I love your recipes, but am trying to avoid extra charges from ordering out of Country.

Thanks!
Amy

Oops… sorry, I meant December. =) I’m a Puerto Rican rice-lover but am striving to lose weight and lower my cholesterol. I’m 32 years old, but it’s an inherited trait. :/ I have a 2-yr-old princess and 8-yr-old Handsome boy. Looking for more creative delicious recipes. Definitely will venture into your site further.

My mother made chili like this in a cast iron Dutch oven. She made the chili on top of the stove and put the cornbread on top, then put it in the oven. It was great and so is this recipe. I love it. Thanks.

Janne – You could use any corn bread batter so if you have a favorite lite one give it a try. I have a corn bread crust that may be work as a topping….

or you can try WWs version…

I’d really like to try this recipe because it looks so delicious (comfort food)! Unfortunately you can’t buy anything from Vitalicious in Europe (Belgium), nor did I ever see cornbreadmix. Is there a way of making my own cornbread on top while still being Weight Watchers-proof? Or does anyone knows a European/Belgian alternative? Thanks!

wow…so yummy. I did actually use a different turkey chili recipe – figured it was the way to try out that, as well as the corn muffin topping idea. but, i LOVE it. thanks for this

Made this for lunch today knowing my husband would hate it. He “Didnt mind it” although he didnt like the corn muffin topping. I loved it, as did my 3 year old. I will be making this regularly. Thanks!!

So I have been meaning to make this for a while. and I did last night! Everyone approved! husband doesn’t like cornbread but he ate around that and the baby ate the cornbread right up and the chili I loved it and had leftovers and I am excited for future packed lunches for work =D

I think your calucations are pretty on. I added a bunch of things to my recipe in addition to what you used like kidney beans, squash,every color pepper,and I used jiffy corn bread mix and added some agave syrup to it (yum just right amount of sweetness!) and I plugged it all into the weight watchers recipe builder on e-tools and got 5 points and it made 9 servings because I bulked it up with veggies I was still able to get huge protions with cutting 9 instead of 6.

Also I told my husband to be openminded and he tried it with all those bell peppers and squash in and all (doesn’t like veggies) and he said it was good (minus the cornbread) and ate two servings and said he was so full! I personally loved the cornbread on top! it was comfort food at its best minus the calories!

This was a great dinner tonight! The 6 year old helped me cut up the veggies and then gobbled it down since she helped. She also wanted me to “tell that lady on the computer that I loved it.” Think she’s watched too many of your videos with me? :)

I made this tonight (with a few modifications) and my family really enjoyed it. I added a can of kidney beans to the mix and used Mel’s idea of jiffy mix and cream corn on top. So delicious! With the addition’s we are getting 8 servings. Yea! 2 meals from one awesome dish!

This looks really great! My kids have food allergies and I can’t use any of the vitatop products. But I make a similar recipe and use one box of jiffy cornbread mix and stir in an 8oz can or creamed corn. No eggs or water. I guessing it will raise the points a bit.

Roni,

I made this tonight identical to your recipe minus the Vita Mix. I used Aldi’s Corn Muffin Box mix (Used 2 Eggwhite and 5oz of water) and it was AMAZING!

I put it in the WW Recipe Builder and it came out to 6 servings at 6 points per serving.

My whole family devoured this, thank you for your wonderful recipes and site!!!!

I made this last night. Very good–definitely “a Keeper” recipe. I added black beans because I love them in chili and adjusted nutritional info accordingly–worth the extra calories IMHO! Husband and older son loved–younger son doesn’t “do” chili!

Terri — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 13:04:22 +0000

Oh, Yes! This looks great, gotta try it!

There are 2 men in America who do not like chili – your husband and my husband. My hubby will not touch it with a 10 ft. pole. I even leave out the kidney beans. Nope. Won’t eat it. Hmpf!

LOVE chili and cornbread, such a great combination :)

This looks FABULOUS! I plan to rotate this into next week’s menu plan for sure! My husband will absolutely flip over this dish! I happen to have a box of the Vita Top corn muffin mix and wanted to do something fun with it rather than make muffins–this is PERFECT! Thank you for the idea!!

Wow Roni, this looks REALLY good! Thanks for the recipe!!

Ohhh yeah! Totally! You can cook it all day and the just add the corn topping right before dinner! ALthough… it may be soupier.
