Chili Cobbler
Chili served in cute little individual pots and topped with a golden, homemade cornbread crust; it’s the ultimate cozy dinner flex for those frosty evenings
1Box of Cornbreadyour fave brand + Ingredients needed for cornbread mix
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat oil. Once shimmering, add onion and peppers. Once they are becoming tender, add garlic, parsley, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Allow to toast for about a minute or two.
Add in ground beef and continue cooking until cooked through. Then add in beans, tomato juice, tomato sauce, and chopped tomatoes.
Mix everything well. Then add in brown sugar, sazon goya, and both bouillons. Bring to a simmer—salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer for around 2 hours. You can be done after about an hour, but the longer the better!
Once you are happy with your chili, preheat your oven and follow the directions on your cornbread box to prepare your cornbread batter.
Place ramekins on a cookie sheet. Spoon chili into ramekins and then top with cornbread batter, I aimed for about 1/4 C batter per bowl, but it really depends on the size of your ramekins.
I baked mine for 25 minutes, but it will depend on how much batter you used in each ramekin.
Notes
This version isn’t super spicy, if you want yours to have a lot of heat, here is what I do when I want a lot of heat: add another jalapeno, 1/2 t cayenne pepper, and 1/2 t white pepper, taste, and if it needs more heat, add more!
