Here is how you make Chili and Cornbread Casserole:

For the chili, heat olive oil over medium-high in a large heavy bottomed stock pot. Add onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add green pepper, red pepper and jalape?o pepper and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables become soft but retain their shape, about 10 minutes.Add beef and break up. Cook until beef is nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Mix in the chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant and the vegetables and beef are coated in seasoning. Add chipotles (if using) and tomatoes and bring to a boil.Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until thickened. Add the drained beans and stir to combine.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375˚F. Assemble the cornbread by combining the polenta, flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, Greek yogurt, egg and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold until well combined. Fold in the cheese and set aside while the chili cooks.Once chili has simmered for 30 minutes add it to a deep 9 x 13? baking pan. Dollop the cornbread batter on top of the chili, then top each dollop with a pickled jalape?o. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and chili is bubbling. Garnish with scallions, fresh cilantro and fresh jalape?o and serve.Serving Size: Makes 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TERRY220.
