Sometimes using up leftovers is a pain in the butt! My new favorite way to use up some of my HUGE batches of chili is this cornbread chili bake. It is super simple, and if you have chili on hand, it takes just a few minutes to whip up with gluten free cornbread dough and get this into the oven.

A cornbread chili bake is also perfect for a potluck, which is usually when I make it! Both my chili recipes on this site will work, but you can also use almost any other chili recipe you love. I do recommend that you use a thicker soup, if the chili is too runny it will be hard for the cornbread to bake on top!

To transport to a potluck I bake it, cover it in foil and place it in a hot/cold grocery bag like this one. I believe you can get these at most grocery stores, that is where I got mine. Also remember to bring a potholder. This dish stays warm!!

Let’s get cooking
