Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the scallions and cook until soft, about 1 minute.
- Spread the chili in an 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with half of the cheese followed by half of the corn mixture. Lay the polenta rounds on top, then sprinkle with the remaining corn and cheese.
- Bake until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- Toss the beef with 1 tablespoon each brown sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes (do not crowd the pan). Transfer to a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chiles, cumin and chili powder and cook 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water and the tomatoes and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and the hot sauce to the chili. Serve with scallions, cilantro and/or sour cream for topping, and chips, if desired. (Reserve 3 to 4 cups for another use.).

CHILI CASSEROLE
When I had left over Chili my kids wanted this dish. You can also make it in little Frito Corn Chip Bags (just cut open one side of bag pour Chili over corn chips, dot with sour cream, give them a plastic spoon) and they are good to go. No muss no fuss. They are sold like that at country fairs.

Steps:
- 1. In a large deep skillet or pot, brown ground beef in the olive oil over high heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then add Worcestershire sauce. When the meat is browned and crumbled, reduce heat to med-high, then add onion, garlic and jalapeno.
- 2. Season veggies and meat with chili powder and cumin. Cook veggies and meat together for 5 minutes.
- 3. Stir in broth and scrape up pan drippings. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and black beans. When the mixture comes to a bubble, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes more.
- 4. Preheat the broiler. Transfer chili to a shallow casserole and top with the corn chips and cheese. Melt cheese under broiler. Tope casserole with cilantro and scallions and serve.
Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your casserole a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and white beans.
- Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality chili. This is the foundation of your casserole, so make sure it's flavorful and has a good consistency. You can use a homemade chili or a store-bought chili.
- Add some corn. Corn adds a sweet and crunchy element to the casserole. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn.
- Top with cheese. Cheese is always a good addition to a casserole. It melts and gets gooey, which makes it irresistible.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
