Creating your very own Chili Cornbread Casserole is simple with these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Add the Ingredients: Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

4. Layering: Spoon the chili mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

5. Prepare the Cornbread: In a bowl, mix the cornbread mix with the egg and milk according to package instructions. Pour the cornbread batter over the chili mixture, spreading it gently to cover.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cornbread batter evenly.

7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Let it Cool: Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

9. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy warm.

These straightforward steps ensure that you will successfully create this incredible dish without any hassle.
