Chili and cornbread is one of our favorite meals this time of year. I decided to combine the two into one delicious casserole. Sweet cornbread topped with a quick homemade chili. Comfort food at its best!! SO good!!
This Chili & Cornbread Casserole is super easy to make. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting 5 or 10 minutes for the casserole to cool off before digging in. You need to give the cornbread a few minutes to set up before slicing into the casserole. It will fall apart if you dive right in after pulling it out of the oven.
We absolutely loved this Chili & Cornbread Casserole. The combination of sweet cornbread and savory chili was perfect! I added beans to my chili. If you don't like beans, just omit them from the recipe. It will still taste great! If you like a spicer chili, swap out the diced tomatoes for a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. YUM!
We topped the casserole with our favorite chili toppings - sour cream, jalapeño and fried onions. YUM! Give this Chili & Cornbread Casserole the next time you get a craving for chili. I promise it won't disappoint!!
