Cheesy Chili Cornbread Casserole

Casseroles are quick and easy, portable and satisfy your hungry family. You can make them ahead of time and reheat (usually with even better flavor!) Each of my family has their go-to casserole and for me, it is this Cheesy Chili Cornbread Casserole!

Winter is the perfect time to dig into comforting and filling dishes like this Cheesy Chili Cornbread Casserole. Tucking into something so warm makes you feel like getting cozy with a blanket in front of a snapping fireplace.

Could there be a prettier chili? I had some fresh tomatoes that I chopped up and added to the mixture.

Pour the chili into a 9 by 13-inch pan. I love using this stoneware from Pampered Chef.

I like my cornbread to have a little crunch to it, so we let it bake a little bit longer.  My son-in-law likes to spread good butter over his cornbread before he eats it. It is delicious that way!
