How to Make Chili Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup milk, and one 8.5 oz box of cornbread mix. (The box may call for less milk, but using 1 cup makes a looser, better batter for this recipe).
  3. Generously butter a 9x13 inch (or two 9x6 inch) casserole dish(es). Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared dish(es).
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (finely chopped), 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1 cup salsa, 1 (15-ounce) can chili (your favorite kind!), and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Evenly spoon the chili mixture over the cornbread batter.
  6. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly and the cornbread is cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
