Chili Pot Pie

Pot Pies are one of my favorite winter time meals. They are a very hearty meal that warms my family up. To shake things up a bit I decided to make a Chili Pot Pie with Cornbread Crust. The principles are about the same as making a classic chicken pot pie but this baby is filled with delicious chili. People will think you spent hours creating this masterpiece but the truth is it's SO easy.

Basically, you just make the chili and cover it with cornbread batter. The end result is amazing! The comforting chili pairs perfectly with the rich and flavorful fluffy cornbread that's baked to perfection. The best part is you don't need anything extra to sop up the chili. The cornbread is built right in!

Chili Pot Pie

Serve with your favorite chili toppings like cheese or sour cream. Or with side dishes like coleslaw or potato salad. Whatever floats your boat will pair perfectly with this meal.
