I always joke that my favorite part of chili is the cornbread, but i couldn't be more serious i love the combination of chili and cornbread, so to me, this recipe is a match made in heaven. traditional beef chili is topped with corn muffin batter to create the ultimate sweet topping to compliment the savory chili. i like to think of this as a chili and cornbread version of shepherd's pie. this recipe is easy to make, delicious, hearty, and even though it is healthy, there is nothing "light" tasting about it.
