One Skillet Chili and Cornbread

Is there an occasion where chili isn't appropriate? If there is please don't tell me. I love chili, especially with cornbread. It is a delicious and hearty comfort food that contains just about all the food groups. 

To really make this meal one pot, we cooked the cornbread on top of the chili. I love using this technique when making chili because you get a bite of cornbread with every bite of chili. It is perfect!

 Now, I have seen some crazy stuff added to chili before. If you've ever been to a chili cook off you know what I am talking about. Somehow people can add all kinds of different ingredients to their chili and it turns out delicious. 

 

Don't worry, I didn't add anything crazy to make the chili delicious. I kept the ingredients to stuff you likely have in your pantry at all times.  I mean, you can't have chili whenever you want if you have to make a special trip the store. 

When I first started making chili from scratch, I was surprised by the amount of chili powder in the recipe. However, the chili powder isn't what makes the chili spicy. The chili powder gives the chili flavor. The cayenne pepper is what makes the chili spicy.  

This chili is mild. If you like a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper. This will give you some added kick but will keep the chili flavor.
