Chili in a Jar


Last night I made this super good Chili-in-a-Jar dinner.  Its chili topped with a "Corn Bread" type of bread BUT its low carb!  Harry and Kendall both really liked it, and I thought it was good as well.  The good thing about this is that after you get it into jars and bake it, you can screw on the lid and put in the fridge and it makes for great lunches.  Just reheat in the microwave and Viola!  Instant lunch!

Chili in a Jar

Your favorite chili recipe ( I used mine with ground turkey and no beans.  )

1/2 Cup almond Meal
1/4 Cup Flax Seed Meal
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Splenda
4 Eggs Beaten

1-2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded

Mix all ingredients except cheese together and start assembling…

In a Medium sized jar put 1- 1 and 1/2 cup chili…I just used a ladle and it took 2 ladles.  you want the jar half to 3/4 full.  The sprinkle cheese over the top of chili.  This is going to be your barrier so that the bread mixture doesn't seep into the chili.  The using an ice cream scoop scoop 1/4 of the bread mixture into the jar right on top of the cheese.  Fill it almost full.  Place on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until the bread is set and browned.  
LET COOL.  This is so hot!  Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.  I served it right in the jars.  It was really good and really cute!
The dough will seem really runny…its suppose to be.  Don't worry it works.

Enjoy!!
