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.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare cornbread according to package directions. Stir in the chilies. Spread in a greased 8 inch square pan or pie pan or whatever. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes until done. Set aside to cool. Or make the night before.
- 2. Mix together mayo, sour cream & ranch dressing.Put in refrigerator to chill. Or make the night before.
- 3. Cut up or crumble the cooled cornbread into small pieces ...layer into a casserole dish, at least 9x13 but bigger is better as this makes a lot! Mix together all the beans and corn and spread evenly over the cornbread. Spread the Ranch dressing mix over the corn and beans. (This is made easier if you put it into a quart size Ziploc bag, cut a little hole in one corner and squeeze it out.) Layer the remaining ingredients in the order given...tomatoes, green pepper, green onions, bacon, then cheese. Chill several hours or overnight!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh corn, bell peppers, and onions will give your chili cornbread casserole the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the cornbread. The cornbread should be cooked through, but it should still be moist. If you overcook it, it will be dry and crumbly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cornbread. This will help you get clean, even slices.
- Serve the chili cornbread casserole with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced avocado.
- Store the chili cornbread casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Chili cornbread casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chili. With its combination of chili, cornbread, and cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
