If you don’t feel like making chili and cornbread mix in the same evening we get it! Chili will hold up well in the fridge for 1 to 2 days if you want to make ahead. We recommend eating this as soon as it’s cooked or refridgerating after it’s cooled. If you want to make, cool, and freeze it’s best to do this only a few days in advance. It’s a tough call to make but we don’t recommend freezing it prior to baking. Instead we followed suit on a basic cornbread with Jiffy mix which adds a hint of sweet. Our casserole is called “cornbread” casserole because we didn’t create a creamy corn pudding-like topping. Did you know that corn pudding can also be referred to as spoonbread or hoppy glop? Yup, go figure! They aren’t meant to be eaten by hand just with a spoon. Pretty much the same corn casseroles or corn puddings are tender and crumbly made with creamed corn, butter, sour cream, eggs, and corn kernels. All of this to say that cornbread casseroles or corn puddings have been around for what it feels like forever.Īre corn casserole and corn pudding the same? Many years later Jiffy came about with their own corn casserole dish which they marketed as corn bowl and later changed to spoonbread. Many quote how popular corn pudding became post Civil War. It has morphed into many dishes over many decades. It’s a Native American staple but also very popular in southern cooking. Cornmeal is seen as a hearty grain that could hold up for long periods of time. Who started making casseroles with cornbread?Ĭornbread has a vast history and cornmeal even more so. Otherwise substitute the meat in this recipe for ground chicken, ground turkey, ground pork, or vegan meat. And, if you want other ways to cook chili- say you’re not a beef eater- then substitute in a vegetarian chili, vegan chili, or white chicken chili. So now you don’t have to dirty another baking dish or worry about cutting those perfect squares.Ĭorn pudding is great on its own but it could also accompany a variety of dinner time salads. Who doesn’t like a good hearty chili with tomato, red beans, and lots of warming spices? We did the hard work for you by topping off the chili with a layer of cornbread. But first we have to discuss the base of this casserole because that’s what makes the cornbread pop. If you want to go the homemade route, I'd suggest halving our homemade cornbread recipe, which is just as delicious. Though we hate to admit it, we LOVE Jiffy cornbread mix.
