【One Pot Wonder】Chilli with Cornbread

Chilli is one of our favourite one pot wonders. I have made different versions with beef, Beyond Meat and even just vegetables. This time I changed things up by using ground turkey topped with a layer of sweet cornbread to make it more delicious!

Chilli with Cornbread

This chilli recipe is super flexible when it comes to ingredients and seasonings. You can use different meat, vegetables, and play with the seasonings to suit your taste. If you prefer your chilli spicy like I do, feel free to add spicy chilli powder to give it an extra kick.
