Chili Cornbread Casserole

This is good old fashioned comfort food, great for a crowd.  Serve with a nice green salad.  Adapted from Mommy's Kitchen .  Since I didn't have to feed a crowd, I halved the ingredients and used an 8 inch dish.



1 lb. hamburger or ground turkey, browned, (drained) 
½ cup chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
2 (15 oz) cans  chili beans
½ - tsp. onion powder
3 - tsp. chili powder
½ - tsp. garlic salt
salt & pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup additonal cheddar cheese for batter (optional)
(2) - packages Jiffy Corn Muffin mix

Mix browned hamburger/ground turkey with onion and drain. Add tomatoes, chili beans and seasonings. Simmer for 15 minutes. Put into greased 9x13 pan and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Mix corn bread mix according to box directions.  Pour corn muffin mix on top of the chili and cheese cover completely. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
