Steps:
- For the chili, heat olive oil over medium-high in a large heavy bottomed stock pot. Add onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add carrot, celery, red pepper and jalapeño pepper and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables become soft but retain their shape, about 10 minutes.
- Add beef and break up with a fork. Cook until beef is nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Mix in the chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant and the vegetables and beef are coated in seasoning. Add chipotles (if using) and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until thickened. Add the drained beans and stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375˚F. Assemble the cornbread by combining the polenta, flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, greek yogurt, egg and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold until well combined. Fold in the cheese and set aside while the chili cooks.
- Once chili has simmered for 30 minutes add it to a deep 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Dollop the cornbread batter on top of the chili, then top each dollop with a pickled jalapeño. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and chili is bubbling. Garnish with scallions, fresh cilantro and fresh jalapeño and serve.

FIREHOUSE CHILI AND CORNBREAD CASSEROLE
Everyone knows that firefighters make the best chili--many using a recipe very similar to this--and the only way I know how to make that chili even better is by topping it with a cheesy cornbread crust. The cornbread crust is relatively sweet, which of course pairs perfectly with that spicy, meaty, savory chili.

ROSALIE'S CORNMEAL CASSEROLE
This is a family favorite. Sometimes I substitute chickpeas or other beans for the kidney beans. I suppose if you like ground beef, you could substitute ground beef for the kidney beans as well. If you love cheese, by all means, use more ... if I've got enough I do!
