This skillet meals starts with a quick beef and bean chili cooked in a cast iron skillet, a layer of shredded sharp cheddar cheese in the middle, and a sweet cornbread topping finishes it all off. There's a couple options to this skillet meal, so don't feel like you have to prepare it exactly like I did.
Another variation is omit the Mexicorn and add a small can of cream style corn, and shredded cheddar cheese into the cornbread batter. If corn isn't for you just omit the corn totally it's really your own preference. I think the Mexicorn compliments the chili nicely and gives it a festive flavor. Lets get started with the step by step.
To start in a large cast iron skillet (mine measured 11 in) brown ground beef, onion and garlic. Drain off any excess fat from skillet.
Add tomatoes, chili mix, Mexicorn and beans; stir to combine.
Turn the heat to medium and cook until mixture is hot and bubbly (about 10-15 minutes) then remove from heat. Add a bit of salt and pepper if needed.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix corn bread mix according to package instructions (adding the milk & eggs) and set aside. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the chili mixture, and then pour the cornbread batter evenly over the top.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 -25 min. Be sure to check chili-cornbread as it cooks making sure it doesn’t get too brown. Cornbread should be golden brown on top. You'll know the dish is ready when the mixture is bubbly and the cornbread is baked through.

I like sweet cornbread with butter!
I'm a (Yankee)sweet cornbread lover! Lived in the South for 10 years and scandalized the locals with my addition of sugar to cornbread! The ladies loved it, but when they learned I used sugar and a whole teaspoon of salt, they turned their noses up at it, lol! Not only do I add sugar to the batter, I sprinkle a thin layer over the top before baking to get that sweet, crunchy top! Yum!! elyrehs@yahoo.com
Love my corn bread " sweet" makes each meal fun an its great as a perfect snack.
Being a "yankee" lol (from NY), I had no idea how to make tasty cornbread. I found Martha Stewart items and I'm still learning but do get compliments. One thing I hear often is "use an iron skillet" and still do not have one. We like sweet cornbread at our house.
Thanks for the chance to win one.

Sweet cornbread, only!
But the proper way to consume it is chunked into a tall glass, still warm, and covered with fresh milk. Use a spoon, or you'll make a mess!
I Like My Regular Cornbread Made With Butter Milk
Simply put, I love cornbread. I like sweet or plain, made with buttermilk or sour cream, but my favorite has to be with cheddar cheese mixed in. My favorite recipe using cornbread is probably Mexican cornbread, a little spicy and plenty of cheddar.

We eat regular cornbread here and have it mostly when we have a fish fry.
I have to say tho that I have never, ever used a mix. All my cornbread is made from scratch using my late aunt's basic recipe.
Over time I have added my own twist to it by adding some of this and some of that ingredients.
Hubby likes honey on his cornbread in place of butter.
Thank you for this opportunity.

Raised on Martha White - regular cornbread. Sweet stuff just doesn't do it for me.
Happy Valentines Day Ladies!
I like all kinds of cornbread and I am going to try this chili skillet method!
Just remember when cooking cornbread, preheat your greased skillet or pan in the oven while it heats up before you add batter. This makes perfect cornbread everytime!
I like my cornbread a little on the sweet side.
