Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake - Easy Weeknight Meal

Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake

Two family favorites, chili and cornbread, come
together in this microwaveable one-dish meal.

Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) 90% lean ground beef
1 can (16 oz or 398 mL) chili beans in
sauce, undrained
1 cup (250 mL) chunky salsa
1 medium green bell pepper
6 green onions with tops, divided
2 tbsp (30 mL) Chipotle Rub
1 pkg (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
1 container (8 oz or 250 mL) sour cream
1 egg
½ cup (125 mL) shredded cheddar
cheese (optional)

1. Coarsely chop bell pepper using Food Chopper. Thinly slice green onions using Color Coated Chef’s Knife,
separating white and light green bottoms from tops. Reserve 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the onion tops for garnish. Place
remaining tops into Classic Batter Bowl.
2. In Deep Covered Baker, combine bell pepper, onion bottoms and beef; mix well. Microwave, covered, on HIGH
7–9 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles halfway through using Mix ‘N Chop. Remove
baker from microwave using Oven Mitts; carefully pour off juices. Add beans, salsa and rub to beef mixture; mix well.
Cover; microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or until hot.
3. Meanwhile, combine muffin mix, sour cream and egg in batter bowl; mix well. Scoop muffin mixture evenly over
chili using Medium Scoop; spread evenly to edges of baker using Small Spreader. Microwave, covered, on HIGH
7–9 minutes or until center of cornbread springs back when lightly pressed. Sprinkle cheese over cornbread,
if desired; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with reserved onion tops and tomato, if desired.
Yield: 8 servings

Cook’s Tip: For homemade cornbread, omit corn muffin mix. Combine ¾ cup (175 mL) flour, ½ cup (125 mL) yellow
cornmeal, 3 tbsp (45 mL) sugar, 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil, 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder and ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt. Proceed
as directed in Step 3, microwaving on HIGH 9–11 minutes.
