WARNING!!!
CHILI CORNBREAD PIE COULD BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE
DISH FOR THE FAMILY,
AND YOU MIGHT EAT TOO MUCH!!!
It’s cold outside and we needed comfort food to warm us up and make us feel happy! This Turkey Chili Cornbread Pie is just what the doctor ordered.
I totally composed this recipe as I made it. I had no idea that it would turn out so scrumptious with a spicy turkey chili and soft, crumble and cheesy cornbread with just a hint of spice from the jalapeno.
After you make the turkey chili place it in a 10 inch casserole dish. Make the cornbread and cover the top of the chili with a 1/2 inch layer of the cornbread. Make sure that the chili is totally covered to the edges. If you have leftover cornbread then just bake it in a muffin tin for later. When the cornbread is done then cover it with the cheese and place back in the oven under the broiler to get a beautifully melted and browned top to the top.
