Jiffy Chili Cornbread Pie

Jiffy Chili Pie is a one-pot wonder that satisfies the pickiest of eaters.  Use leftover homemade chili with your favorite cornbread recipe that is spread across the top.

CHILI CORNBREAD CASSEROLE

Chili cornbread casserole is a hearty, flavorful chili dish with a crumbly cornbread topping. You just mix up your favorite cornbread and pour it over the chili. How easy can it get?

Jiffy Chili Pie is one of the recipes I make on cold days. It is so easy to make. 

I used leftover homemade chili in the freezer, chopped onions, and a can of green chilies. I sandwiched all of that between two layers of prepared Jiffy Cornbread Mix. 

You can have a meal on the table in a "jiffy."   Just had to say that...he he!

TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST JIFFY CHILI CORNBREAD PIE

Jiffy cornbread.  If you prefer to make your own cornbread, you can make it with your favorite cornbread recipe.  To help with making the cornbread, even on top scoop small dollops and then smooth out with the back of a spoon or spatula.  For a golden brown on top, brush melted butter over the top of the cornbread layer.

Made ahead.  You can prepare the cornbread mix and chili, store them in a separate container, and store them in the refrigerator.  When ready to bake, assemble as the recipe states.

Add extra vegetables.  You can have layers of vegetables, whole kernel corn, hominy, and sweet potatoes, to name a few.

Freeze the casserole.  You can freeze the casserole for up to 2 to 3 months.  Slowly thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then bake.
