I made this tonight for dinner. It was delicious. I don't have individual ramekins, so I used a small casserole dish and a jiffy corn muffin mix for the topping. It is definitely going into my fall/winter meal rotation!

How To Make A Chili Pot Pie

The first thing to do when making this dish is cook the ground beef thoroughly. Drain it and add the beans, chili seasoning and tomato sauce. Easy so far, right?

To make the cornbread, mix the dry ingredients all together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in a second bowl. Then, add the wet to the dry.

Get four ramekin dishes and spoon into each, one cup of chili and then half a cup of cornbread batter.

Bake for about 25 minutes and if you want, you can top with cheese and sour cream.

This recipe is for four people which is great for most families. If you need to make more, just double up the recipe.

These are truly perfect on their own since you’re getting both the chili and the cornbread in one dish. However, I really like to serve it with corn on the cob! For a warm after dinner dessert try Caramel Apple Bread Pudding or Hot Chocolate Monkey Bread.
