EASY CHILI CORNBREAD BAKE
Chili and cornbread go so well together, why not bake them in the same pan! I've been making this for years and my kids love it. I use ground turkey, but ground beef could be substituted if preferred. You can make this in individual 12- to 16-ounce casseroles if you prefer. Serve with tortilla chips and top with sour cream if desired.

Steps:
- For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mix and whisk until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups (1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon per cup). Rap the muffin pan on the counter several times so the batter spreads evenly in each cup.
- Bake until slightly domed on top and golden brown on the underside, about 10 minutes. Cool completely in the pan. Hold a paring knife at an angle to cut a conical shape out of the top of each muffin so that the base is like a shallow bowl. Reserve the cut-out tops.
- For the chili: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chocolate and 3/4 cup water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has cooked off, about 10 minutes. Keep warm or reheat before serving.
- Make the bites: Reheat the cornbread if desired (the best way is in the microwave 1 to 2 minutes to avoid drying them out). Divide the chili evenly between the cornbread cups and top with a sprinkling of cheese and scallions. Place the cornbread top on top and serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat oil in very large pan (approx. 7 quarts). Fry onion and garlic until soft. Add chili, coriander, and cumin. Stir well.
- Add peppers and break up ground beef into the pan and, using a fork, keep turning it to separate as the meat browns. Add diced tomatoes, ketchup, tomato puree, and water. Stir to make a rich, red sauce. When chili starts to boil, sprinkle cocoa and stir together. Add the beans and simmer partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. At this point you can cool and freeze the chili, or just keep it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pour chili into a large, wide dish or keep in the dish you cook it in if it is ovenproof.
- Combine salt, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, honey, and oil in a jug. Then stir into the dry ingredients mixing to make a vivid yellow batter.
- Pour cornmeal topping over chili, or blob over to cover the top as evenly as possible.
- Sprinkle the cheese over top of cornbread and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until cornbread topping is risen and golden, and chili underneath is bubbling. (Optional - reheat chili on stove before baking to speed up prep time.).
- Let chili stand for 5 minutes once out of the oven, before cutting the cornbread top into squares or slices to serve with a helping of chili underneath.
- Serve with sour cream or guacamole.

- Use a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread bites rise and cook evenly.

- Serve the chili cornbread bites warm: These bites are best served warm, so make sure to eat them right away.
