Directions
-
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over med-high heat.
-
When the oil smokes, add in the sliced poblanos and char them for a couple of minutes, then scoot them off to the side of the pan and add in the meat.
-
Break up the meat and brown it for a couple of minutes, then add in the onions and garlic.
-
Season the meat with grill seasoning, Worcestershire, chipotles, and adobo sauce.
-
Cook 5-6 minutes, until the onions are tender; stir in the steak sauce and beer.
-
Cook the beer off for 1 minute; then add in the stock and tomatoes; decrease heat to low.
-
Prepare corn pancake batter: in a bowl, combine corn muffin mix, egg, melted shortening, and milk; batter will be slightly lumpy.
-
Finely chop the beans in a food processor and stir them into the corn batter.
-
Season the batter with cumin; stir in the scallions.
-
Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat; butter the griddle, then pour three 3 to 4 inch corn pancakes.
-
Flip the pancakes when the bottoms are deeply golden and cook them for another minute or two on the second side.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 cakes.
-
Top each bowlful of the chili with a corn and black bean pancake.
