Made this in the slow cooker and added the cornmeal the last hour.
Oh, and I’m also in the chili with beans group so added a can of black beans too.
Hi Penney! I fully support your support of beans, and so glad to know this works in the slow cooker! Hurray!
I was interested in this recipe when I saw “cornmeal”. Years ago when I first made tortilla soup, I wanted it to be a little thicker, so I stirred part of a package of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. It added a nice texture & a little sweetness. You might try this in your chili. BTW – I’m in the Yes Beans category.
I do love a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix – I’m definitely going to try it! :)
