Chili Cornbread Casserole
From modelsmom 17 years ago
- 25 minutes to make
- Serves 8
One of my family's top 10 meals. This is the one I bring to pot luck suppers. The best thing is that it's a meal in itself (it's great with a side salad, but I've served it on its own plenty of times!)
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef shopping list
- 1 can beef broth shopping list
- 2 cans (14oz) diced tomatoes, undrained shopping list
- 1 can (14oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed shopping list
- 1 small can (8oz) whole kernel corn (or use frozen) shopping list
- 3 T chili powder shopping list
- For the cornbread topping: shopping list
- 2 packages cornbread mix, which will probably call for: shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 4 T butter or margarine, melted shopping list
- 2/3 cup milk shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In a large, oven-proof skillet, brown the ground beef, then drain the fat.
- Turn heat to medium-low, and add the beef broth, tomatoes, beans, corn, and chili powder.
- Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the cornbread near the end of that 15 minutes, or it will set & be too thick to pour.
- Follow the directions on the package of cornbread mix.
- Pour cornbread batter evenly over the top of the chili. It will sink into the chili. Don't worry - it'll rise nicely during baking.
- Place in the oven, on middle rack.
- Bake 25-30 minutes. It's done when the cornbread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- This recipe makes a very thick layer of cornbread. To make a thinner layer, use only 1 package of mix. In that case check for doneness after about 20 minutes.

Very good recipe! Easy and delicious. I did the double box of cornbread and I did had to add at least 10 minutes of cooking time to the casserole, to cook the cornbread thoroughly. Review in IMI
