Best Lentil Chili Pie With Cornbread Crust Recipes

CHILI PIE WITH CORNBREAD CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the beef; cook 3 minutes, or until browned, breaking up the meat to crumble. With a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a bowl; discard the excess fat. To the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers; cook 7 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic, chili powder, and ground chipotle. Cook 2 minutes, stirring. Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook 3 minutes, or until the mixture is hot. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil; add to the cornmeal, stirring to combine. Fold half the serrano chiles into the batter. Pour over the beef mixture, spreading it to cover. Dot the top with the remaining serranos.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
