EASY CHILI CORNBREAD BAKE



Easy Chili Cornbread Bake image

Chili and cornbread go so well together, why not bake them in the same pan! I've been making this for years and my kids love it. I use ground turkey, but ground beef could be substituted if preferred. You can make this in individual 12- to 16-ounce casseroles if you prefer. Serve with tortilla chips and top with sour cream if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornbread: Stale cornbread will make the casserole dry and crumbly. If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can make your own or use a cornbread mix.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and dry. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese are both good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: You can add any vegetables that you like to this recipe. Some good options include corn, black beans, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Cornbread beef bake is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a family dinner. It is a hearty and filling casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cornbread beef bake turns out perfect every time.
