For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the chili mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use any oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Add a can of diced tomatoes for more texture. Consider adding a layer of cream cheese between the chili and cornbread.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat olive oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add minced onion and cook until softened and translucent. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepAdd ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepStir in kidney beans, tomato sauce, corn, chili seasoning mix, seasoned salt, white sugar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld. (Time: 10 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, combine cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay.
06
StepDrop spoonfuls of the cornbread batter evenly over the chili mixture in the skillet, spreading it gently to the edges.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the cornbread topping is golden brown. (Time: 15 minutes)
08
StepSprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the cornbread topping and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Time: 5 minutes)
09
StepLet the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and the cornbread to set up a bit.
