Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 bell pepper (any color is fine)
  • 1 jalapeno (optional)
  • ⅔ cup onion, diced (about 1 small)
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained (no salt added)
  • 1 can no salt added diced tomatoes – undrained
  • 8 oz tomato sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 batch cornbread batter (use your favorite recipe)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or saute pan.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, except cornbread, and saute over medium heat until beef is cooked through. I make mine without the 8 oz of tomato sauce but if you prefer your chili a little more tomato based and liquidy you can add it.
  3. If using cast iron skillet, remove from heat and leave contents in skillet. If not, transfer to a 9×13 baking dish.
  4. Top with cornbread batter – you can spread evenly over the whole pan or just place dollops across the top.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until cornbread is cooked and golden brown on top.
