Best Pumpkin Chili Cornbread Bake Recipes

PUMPKIN CHILI CORNBREAD BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Make the pumpkin chili. To a medium pot over medium-low heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves and cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Add the tomatoes, beans, pumpkin, jalapeno, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
• Prepare the pumpkin cornbread. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, oil, brown sugar, and egg. Place a sifter over the wet ingredients and add the cornmeal, flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift together over the wet ingredients (if there are any larger particles of cornmeal remaining, just pour it in.)
• Use a wire whisk to combine the ingredients, switching to a wooden spoon or spatula/scraper if needed and mixing just until incorporated and no more.
• Pour the chili into a 2.5- to 3- quart baking dish (I use a 13"x9" dish). Pour the cornbread over the top, carefully spreading to the edges. Arrange jalapeno slices on top if desired.
• Bake 35-40 minutes, until cornbread is cooked through - check by inserting a toothpick into the cornbread and if it comes out clean, you're good.
• Scoop out individual servings and pass assorted toppings around the table if desired.

EASY CHILI CORNBREAD BAKE

Steps:

• Cook turkey, celery, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until turkey is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chili powder, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chili beans, and cannellini beans. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine cornbread mixes, milk, and egg in a bowl and mix well. Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan. Spoon turkey mixture over batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until edges of cornbread are nicely browned and center appears to be set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes more.
