Best Spoon Bread Chili Pie Recipes

VIRGINIA SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Place a medium baking dish (about 8 inches square) in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. The dish will warm up while the oven heats.
• Meanwhile, stir cornmeal into boiling water. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Add salt. Dissolve baking powder in 3 tablespoons of milk. Add the baking powder mixture to the remaining 1 cup of milk. Add milk and baking powder mixture to the cornmeal.
• Butter the hot baking dish. Transfer mixture to the buttered dish. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serve spoon bread warm from the oven!

SPEEDY CHILI POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the turkey chili into a 9-inch pie dish. In a bowl, whisk together the corn bread mix, milk, and egg until slightly lumpy; spoon the corn bread batter on top of the chili.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the corn bread begin to brown and the center is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

REESE WITHERSPOON'S CORN BREAD CHILI PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• In a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
• Add the onion and saute for 1 minute before adding the garlic. Saute for another minute and add the ground beef and pork, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until the meat is brown.
• Drain off any excess fat and stir in the chili seasoning, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Mix over medium heat for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• While the meat simmers, make the corn bread mixture. Stir together the mix, eggs, and milk in a mixing bowl until just combined (do not overmix). I added a little more milk because I heard it made the texture better, but whatever you prefer.
• Stir 1/2 cup of the frozen corn and the cheese into the cornbread batter and set aside. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup of corn and kidney beans into the meat mixture.
• If using a baking dish or casserole dish, transfer the meat mixture from the stove top to the baking dish.
• Pour the corn bread batter over the meat mixture and bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving with optional toppings such as salsa, green onion, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
