Chili Cornbread Casserole
Description
The Chili Cornbread Casserole begins by browning ground beef with onions and seasoning with chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper. Crushed tomatoes, corn, and black beans are added to simmer briefly, creating a rich and textured chili base. The chili mixture is poured into a greased casserole dish.
The cornbread topping combines cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, milk, eggs, and melted butter into a batter poured over the chili. Baking at a moderate temperature cooks the cornbread to a lightly golden finish while heating the chili evenly beneath.
This casserole serves well as a standalone main course and can be garnished with sour cream and sliced jalapeños for added flavor and heat. Its layered texture contrasts the moist, tender cornbread with robust chili filling, suitable for casual dinners and family meals.
The recipe's note cites The Foodie Affair as its source, indicating tested seasoning and proportions.
