FIREHOUSE CHILI AND CORNBREAD CASSEROLE



Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole image

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.
