Chilli cornbread pie in bowl with soured cream
Jump to Recipe

This chilli cornbread pie appeared on the cover of the March 2019 Olive magazine...I didn't make it at the time, but after flicking through some magazines I'd kept a hold of, I decided it was time to give it a go!   We love chilli con carne and cornbread, so making a pie with the 2 seemed like a very good idea.

It's a perfect meal to enjoy any day of the week.   The comforting beef chilli is made into a pie with a yummy cheesy chilli cornbread topping. Serve with extra jalapeños and a dollop of sour cream on the side...it's full of flavour and delicious - you'll want more!!

Tip

  • This chilli cornbread pie recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less people - just use a smaller casserole or transfer it into a small ovenproof dish before baking it in the oven.
