Instructions
Prepare the Chili
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or braiser over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder and oregano and cook. Stir frequently until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the beef. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break it up, and cook until the meat begins to brown, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add the beer and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and break them up using the wooden spoon. Don't forget to add their juices to the mix, too!
- Next, pour in the broth and the beans to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
Make the Cornbread
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Warm the butter and milk in a microwave-safe container in the microwave. Once the butter has melted, measure in the honey. Stir to combine.
- Add the egg to the wet ingredients. Be sure to break the yolk with a fork and really incorporate it into the mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir until just combined. Set aside.
Make and bake the casserole
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. You can use your Dutch oven/braiser as a your baking dish, so long as it is oven safe. You could also spritz a 9"x13" casserole dis OR six baking ramekins with nonstick baking spray and set them on a baking sheet to make individual pot pies, if desired.
- Spoon the cornbread mixture over the chili.
- Transfer to the preheated oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cornbread has browned slightly and cooked through.
- Enjoy warm!
Notes
- These individual pot pies can be made in a large baking dish, too, if you'd rather. The baking time might take a little longer since the cornbread is going to spread over a larger area, so plan to bake 25-30 minutes or a little longer.
