Walmart Meal Solutions: Chili Night

It’s time to talk about Walmart’s Meal Solutions again! This is the segment where I tell you what meal Walmart is highlighting for a quick and easy weeknight meal.  This time the grab & go meal at Walmart is Chili Night!

Walmart Chili Night

Chili Night Ingredients

  • Hormel Chili No Beans, 25 oz., $2.60
  • Hormel Chili With Beans, 25 oz. $2.41
  • Great Value Whole Kernel Corn, 15.25 oz., $0.50
  • Great Value Saltine, 16 oz., $1.38
  • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, 8.5 oz., $0.42
  • Pillsbury Fudge Brownie Mix, 19.5 oz., $1.37

So of course you could warm up the chili, top with some cheese and serve with crackers, cornbread and corn with fudge brownies for desert.

But that would be boring.  And really starchy.  There needs to be a green veggie in there. . .

I decided to go a slightly nontraditional route and serve my chili over a baked potato!

Mmm. Chili Baked Potato

Doesn’t that look good!  And it’s quick and easy too-since I baked the potato in my microwave.

Although I like to make my own cornbread from scratch, the Jiffy box mix is inexpensive and tasty, so I do keep a box or two on hand for those “ack!” nights.

Doesn't that look good?

Cornbread!

My favorite two chili recipes to make homemade are the Wanna Be Wendy’s Chili and Chicken Chili Blanco.  Sometimes you have time to make your own, and sometimes it’s good to have canned chili in your pantry for quick emergency dinners.  Here are 8 ways you can eat canned (or homemade) chili!

1. As regular chili.
2. Over a baked potato.
3. Mixed into mac ‘n cheese
4. With cheese over rice.
5. With melted Velveeta as a dip.
6. As a burrito filling.
7. In a taco salad.
8. In a casserole dish with cornbread mix on top-then baked.

What do you use canned chili for?

    My first job was at Waffle House and I loved the chili. I could eat it w/ almost anything:
    over omelets, on a burger, with a patty melt or waffle sandwich.
    Of course, you can’t leave out over a big pile of hashbrowns with cheese, onions, and tomatoes.
    My kids are fans of chili dogs, but those are pretty rare around here. Heck chili is pretty rare in my house. I need to change that.
    I’m hungry and I’m blaming you. 😛

    I grew up eating chili every week, I still do, I make homemade chicken chili usually once a week in the crockpot. I like leftover chili on hotdogs, hamburgers, or if there is enough leftover poured into a nine inch cast iron skillet, throw on some cheese, pour prepared cornbread batter mix (jiffy would work) then bake until golden and bubbly and you are sure the cornbread is full cooked, then TADA!!! you have tamale pie:)
