This cornbread-chili bake is guaranteed to score (even if your team doesn’t). Just like your favorite dessert, you’ll poke several holes into a tray of cornbread, then spread a layer of chili on top. The chili will infuse into the cornbread, ensuring a meal that’s meaty, sweet and super-satisfying.

Pro tip? Make this chili before the big game starts, then keep it warm in your slow cooker until you’re ready to eat. Then, all you have to do is grill a few hot dogs, top with the chili and devour. Minimal effort, maximum reward — sounds like a win-win in our playbook!
If you’re looking for a slider that goes the whole nine yards, look no further than Trisha’s easy recipe. She artfully slices cornbread muffins into bowls, then fills each cup with a spoonful of chili. Don’t skip the cheese and scallions for serving — they tie the sliders together and tone down the sweetness.
Chili meets pizza in Sunny’s festive mashup. She swaps pizza crust for French bread and chili for marinara, then tops the whole thing with your favorite chili fixings (like hot sauce, cilantro and scallions). Win or lose, everyone will be happy when chili pizza is on the table.
