Ingredients

  • 8 cups Chili (leftover or freshly made)

Cornbread Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • sour cream, if desired for serving

Instructions

  • Warm the chili in a pan on the stove until bubbly. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • To make the cornbread, whisk together the milk and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir again to mix throughout.
  • Scoop the warm chili into 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe dishes on a metal tray. Spoon the cornbread batter over the top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is done and springs back when touched. Serve warm with sour cream if desired.

Notes

You can make quite a few of the chili cornbread cups this way, or as I've learned to do, make 6 cornbread cups - seeing how that's the number of six-ounce ramekins I own.
Then turn the remaining cornbread batter into muffins or pour additional chili into a casserole dish and top that with scoops of the cornbread mixture.
