Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350

Saute the onions, peppers, garlic, and ground beef in the 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef has browned and is no longer pink.
Add the corn, tomatoes, beans, and spices to the beef mixture and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, combine the cornbread mix, egg, and milk. Stir until smooth and fold in the cheddar cheese.
Use a Tbsp. to drop heaping dollops of the cornbread mixture on top of the chili.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the chili is bubbly and the cornbread has browned.
