Cornbread Chili Casserole

olive oil

turkey (or ground chicken or

(130 grams) chopped yellow onion (1 medium onion)

(130 grams) chopped bell pepper

of a jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds and ribs removed)

garlic cloves,

(120 milliliters) chicken broth (or vegetable or beef broth)

(14.5-ounce 411 grams) can diced tomatoes, drained

kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Tablespoon (12 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

chili powder

oregano

cumin

salt

pepper

cornmeal

(125 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

baking powder

(8 Tbsp; 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

(50 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

egg,

(240 milliliters) buttermilk

(170 grams) corn (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)

In a large ovenproof skillet that holds 3.5–4 quarts, such as this 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the ground turkey, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic. Sauté until meat has cooked through, breaking up with a spoon as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the chili ingredients, and then reduce to medium-low heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C).

Whisk all of the cornbread ingredients together in a large bowl, including the optional corn. Remove the chili from heat and spread the cornbread batter on top.

Bake, uncovered, for 30–35 minutes or until the cornbread is golden on top and cooked through.

Spoon into bowls or onto plates and serve warm with optional toppings.

Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I usually spoon it all into a reusable container. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, or in the microwave as desired.

The entire family gave this a thumbs up. I added a thick layer of cheese between the chili and the batter so that I could prep it a few hours ahead. This worked well.

Great recipe until the cornbread sunk into the chili  thanks for a ruined meal
