Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

  3. Pour the Jiffy cornbread batter into the pan, and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Then let cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. While the cornbread is in the oven, in a large skillet on medium heat add olive oil, onion and then ground beef. Add one packet of seasoning to the meat and cook until meat is browned. Then stir in the tomatoes, and second seasoning packet and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Now that the cornbread has cooled, use the bottom of a utensil with a handle that is about 1-inch in diameter, to poke multiple holes in the cornbread. Pour the chili over the cornbread and spread evenly.
  6. Top with shredded cheese, then place the baking dish back in the oven for 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Cut into squares, top with sour cream and green onions and serve!
