Get ready to elevate your tailgate game with Bob Ahlgren from BBQ Pit Boys! In his latest video, he’s whipping up something that might just blow your mind—chili waffles! Yes, you heard that right! This isn’t your average chili. Bob takes us through the steps to create a rich and smoky chili using local Italian sausage and 80/20 chuck, all slow-simmered to perfection in a Dutch oven right on the Weber kettle.
Smokehouse Chili
Let’s talk chili! Bob combines classic ingredients like green bell peppers, yellow onion, and zesty chili-style diced tomatoes with a hearty dose of spices—think cayenne, paprika, and dark chili powder. And, because Bob’s got a taste for bold flavors, he packs in pinto beans and some Hatch green chiles for that extra kick! This chili simmers low and slow for a few hours. The result? A bowl of warmth you’ll want on a chilly game day!
Cornbread Waffles?
But wait, it gets even better! Instead of serving the chili with regular cornbread, Bob takes it up a notch by making cornbread waffles! Using good old Jiffy corn muffin mix (don’t knock it till you try it), he whips up the batter quick, adding some eggs and milk. Then, it’s straight into a greased cast-iron waffle iron over hot coals! Talk about creativity!
The Build
Bob takes us step-by-step through the building process—pouring that luscious chili over the freshly made cornbread waffles, and he doesn’t skimp on toppings either. Sour cream, spicy cheese, and green onions finish it off nicely. It’s a flavor explosion you don’t want to miss!
So next time you’re planning a tailgate, or just want something fun to cook outside, head to BBQ Pit Boys to catch Bob’s full video and grab all the details. You won’t regret it—this is a recipe that’ll have your friends talking long after the game is over!
