Cook 5 min then add chili powder and cumin, and cook 2 more minute Stir in broth and scrape up drippings. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans. When it comes to a bubble, reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro just before serving.
- Mix together muffin mix, milk, eggs, oil and scallions. Batter should be thick. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over moderate heat. Nest a pat of butter into a folded paper towel and wipe hot pan surface with it to lightly grease. Pour corn cake batter onto hot pan in 3-4 inch rounds. Cook 2-3 min on each side, until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat.
- To serve, top bowls of chili with corn cakes. Eat the chili and corn cake as you would a pot pie, grabbing some of the corn cake with each spoonful of chili.
