Kickin Cowboy Eggs

You can always add ingredients, lessen ingredients, omit items to your liking. Just use up those leftovers. This is a really flexible recipe.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 1-8

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 5 to 20 minutes if cornbread is not prepared  

Ingredients

1 Batch of Corn Bread below (or your favorite corn bread recipe):
1 Cup Yellow Corn Meal
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
2-4 Tbsp Sugar
4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Cup Milk
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Vegetable oil

Chili – your best leftover chili or you can use canned with meat or w/o for vegetarian
Eggs – # depending on how many servings (my son likes this without eggs)
Chedder Cheese
Tabasco sauce or a splash of salsa (optional)

Directions

Prepare cornbread:
Preheat oven to 425, mix all of your dry ingredients together, add milk, egg, and oil. Mix until smooth, about 1 minute.
Pour into a greased iron skillet, 8×8 baking dish, bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Put it all together:
Cut a slice of cornbread and place in dish, top with your favorite chili. Add some shredded cheese, fry up 1 or 2 eggs to your liking and place on the top of the cornbread, cheesy, chili mountain and there you go. If you like it hot, Tabasco or alsa is optional. Very filling. Hop on your horse and head for the hills!
