This recipe for Easy Chili Cornbread Casserole is absolutely amazing and super quick to make. This is a semi-homemade recipe!
This easy chili cornbread casserole is one of those quick and easy semi-homemade meals that we all love to make when life is chaotic.
I'm going to let all you busy moms and dads in on a little secret. In fact, this goes out to everyone out there.
You ready?
It's totally okay to prioritize things in your life and make semi-homemade dinners. I know right. Mind-blowing information right there.
I know, I'm a food blogger. I'm suppose to tell you that you should make every single thing from scratch every single day.
Here's the thing, I do NOT believe that. Not one little bit. I never have, and I never will.
We're all busy and it's okay to prioritize. We only have so many hours in the day you need to make choices.
Some days I would rather make a quick dinner that tastes amazing than spend all the live long day glued to my stove.
Don't get me wrong. I love to cook and spend whole days in the kitchen cooking and baking up a storm. That said, I also love days where I can whip up a recipe like this is 30 minutes.
That means I can spend more time with my kids doing things we love. That's the stuff that makes my heart happy.
This meal is filling and utterly scrumptious. You're going to want to double batch this one!
Whip up a batch of this Chili Cornbread Casserole today. Thank me tomorrow!
Ingredient Notes:
- Chili - Either homemade or store bought chili will work for this recipe.
- Cheese - Mozzarella cheese is my personal favourite for this one but feel free to swap out the cheese if you want.
- Cornbread Mix - I used a store bought cornbread and muffin mix for this casserole to make it as quick and easy as possible. If you want to whip up your own cornbread mix you can.
- Milk - For this casserole, I used 2% milk to mix with the cornbread mix. You can use any kind of milk you prefer.
How to Make Chili Cornbread Casserole:
- First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray and set it aside.
- Pour the prepared chili into the casserole dish and spread out evenly.
- Then, toss the mozzarella cheese over top.
- In a medium bowl combine the cornbread mix with the milk. Stir until well combined then pour over the casserole.
- Place the casserole dish in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown.
- Carefully remove the casserole dish from the oven and slice.
- Serve!
