Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole
Everyone knows that firefighters make the best chili--many using a recipe very similar to this--and the only way I know how to make that chili even better is by topping it with a cheesy cornbread crust. The cornbread crust is relatively sweet, which of course pairs perfectly with that spicy, meaty, savory chili.

Chef's Notes:
Personally, I go for the 85:15 lean-to-fat ratio for ground beef, but even something a little leaner would work here.
You can use any green pepper you like. You can use fire-roasted diced tomatoes with or without diced green chiles.
This recipe may make more than what fits into your baking dish, so reserve any leftovers for another use.
