Cooking time is much longer with multiple pans I used shallots cumin turmeric pepper in the chili mixture and ginger and diced green chilis in the cornbread mixture. I made a double batch to share at a potluck and it took an hour to fully cook. Was awesome. Raves and raves.... Pros: Great for pot lucks
Fabulous recipe- whole family loved it This recipe is fantastic the whole family loved it! I don't know that I can eat boring chili again. I was able to make some simple modifications to the recipe and it was fantastic: gluten free flour reduced fat cheese. Pros: Tasty reheats well easy to make modifications for special diets Cons: Takes some prep work
Modifying Recipe I made this for myself and my husband but instead of following the cornbread recipe I used Marie Callenders cornbread instead for ease. Having the cornbread baked into the chili gives the chili a bit of a sweetness which is delicious. Pros: The chili is really good!
Loved it...but next time The cornbread topping was a VERY thin liquid...I was expecting it to be more dough like and thick...but it poured on and I was afraid it wouldn't turn out. However it turned out just like the picture. Next time I will try canned diced tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes or use 1/2 of each kind. I doubled the recipe and cut back on the amount of chili by 1 TBSP because there were 3 kids eating. I served it with red enchilada sauce on the side. Tasty...even our cilantro hater loved it! Pros: 11 people cleaned their plates and came back for more Cons: Might try a little more liquid next time
If you prepare ahead and re-heat this dish 350 degrees will not cut it. You must raise the oven temp to at least 400 degrees
sorry - wrong recipe!! I didn't pay enough attention to the recipe title. My review should have gone under the recipe for "shrimp chili cornbread casserole". this one is in my to-try pile.
Used Ground Turkey This was so good the layers of chili cheese and cornbread create a harmony of deliciousness! The cornbread topping is so good especially with the added cilantro. Pros: Easy to make feeds alot of people fills you up Cons: nothing
Lower Sodium To further lower sodium you can cook your own beans (without sodium) or use no salt added canned beans and tomatoes. Pros: healthy
My husband and I make a chili recipe very similiar to this one - called "Five Alarm Chili". We also eat cornbread often with other dishes but have never combined chili and cornbread. This sounds awesome!! Especially the cornbread with the cilantro! Can't wait to make this for a cool night dinner!
