Craft from Jan 9th meeting - Chili Mix in a Jar

At the last MOPS meeting we made Chili Mix in a Jar. Here's a similar recipe.

Chili Mix in a Jar

3 cups dried beans (pink, red, navy or kidney -- sorted). Put into a jar or large bag.
3 Tbsp. mild chili powder
2 Tbsp. dehydrated onions
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Combine spices and put into a small bag.

Include in your gift basket:
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 14oz. cans diced tomatoes in juice

Label: Wash beans. Put into pot with spices. Cook until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, brown 1 lb. ground beef (if desired), and drain. Add meat to the beans with the tomatoes and sauce. Simmer to blend flavors.

Corn Bread Mix

1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Sift together all ingredients and store in a plastic bag, at room temperature.
Makes 1 package.

To use:
Pour package of mix into a bowl. Add 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 4 Tbsp. softened shortening. Beat until smooth (about 1 minute with egg beater).
Pour batter into a greased 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until knife inserted at the center comes out clean.

For muffins:
Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
