Steps:
- Heat the oil in 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, 6 to 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chili powder (use less if you like milder chili) and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, beans and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and bring to simmer. Cook until the meat becomes tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. If the liquid reduces to less than three-quarters of the way up the sides of the meat, stir in a little water.
- Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Whisk the remaining 3/4 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Whisk the sour cream, milk and egg together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and Cheddar cheese. Drop oval-shaped spoonfuls of batter on top of the chili, leaving space in between. The batter will not completely cover the chili.
- Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back when touched, and the chili is hot and bubbly, about 17 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve with more sour cream.

VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI WITH EGGS AND CHEDDAR
This soul-warming weeknight chili is made in a skillet because the shorter sides of the pan allow the liquid to evaporate more freely, encouraging it to thicken faster than it would in a traditional pot. Eggs are nestled right into the chili, so the whites cook and the yolks stay molten, in a preparation similar to a shakshuka, another popular eggs-for-dinner dish. Shower the chili with Cheddar, simmer for a few minutes and there you have it: a hearty vegetarian meal. Serve with any toppings you like and something starchy like tortillas to mop everything up.

Steps:
- In a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan and turns the color of rust, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and both cans of beans with their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, smashing the beans lightly and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt.
- Reduce the heat to low. If your chili is thick enough, make four divots evenly spaced in the chili and crack an egg into each divot. (If the chili is not thick enough to hold the divots, don't worry, just crack the eggs on top.) Using a fork or spoon, gently cover the whites with chili. (This helps the whites cook faster and more evenly). Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the chili with Cheddar. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas alongside.

Make certain that you have a large oven-proof skillet for this recipe, as the whole thing is baked in the skillet. Try not to overbake the cornbread topping.

This makes a very thick chili. For a thinner chili, omit the tomato paste. For a chili soup, omit tomato paste and sauce and use 1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes with liquid and add 1/2 cup water and 1 beef bouillon cube.

VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI
If you keep canned beans, tomatoes, onion and garlic in your pantry, you can make this dish on any weeknight without having to shop. The pickled onions aren't strictly necessary, but they are simple to make and add a welcome tangy contrast to the beans. Pickled peppers are a fine substitute. If you have a bell pepper or jalapeño or two, chop them up and sauté them with the onions. And if you want to be fancy, grate the zest off the lime before juicing for the pickles, and stir it into the sour cream.

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion, and pepper until ground beef is browned. Drain grease.
- 2. Stir in beans, tomatoes with juice, dried pasta, tomato soup, taco seasoning, and just enough water to cover mixture. Bring to boiling and then reduce heat so simmer. Cook covered 20 minutes or until pasta is done - stirring often. Add water during this time if needed to finish cooking pasta.
- 3. Remove skillet from heat, top with cheese, and recover with lid for a couple minutes to let the cheese melt.
Tips for Making the Best Chili Skillet:
- Choose the right ground beef. For the best flavor, use a lean ground beef, such as 80/20 or 90/10. This will help to ensure that the chili is not too greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. When browning the ground beef, be sure to do it in batches so that the meat has enough room to brown properly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the meat will steam instead of brown, resulting in a less flavorful chili.
- Use a good quality chili seasoning. There are many different chili seasonings available, so choose one that you like the flavor of. You can also make your own chili seasoning using a combination of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for chili include cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapeños.
Conclusion:
Chili skillet is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty weekend lunch. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a chili skillet recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal, give chili skillet a try!
