A favorite way to present a bowl of chili . . .

We like chili and usually have it with rice or tortillas. I have discovered, however, that my family is thrilled when I present it as a casserole with a baked layer of corn bread on top. It is so easy and makes a one-dish meal preparation.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Using canned or your own chili, layer it in a baking dish. If you have an oblong baking dish, you get more cornbread!

Make a recipe of cornbread according to your favorite recipe or the boxed directions. There is a recipe listed on my blog. Pour the batter over the chili and spread gently to cover the chili mixtures. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes or until corn bread is baked and the chili is bubbling hot. Serve!

If you like it spicer, you can add some chili flakes or canned chilis to the cornbread batter. A change of pace is to sprinkle on a good helping of cheddar over the chili and then put on the cornbread batter.
