Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread Casserole
Vegetarian Chili and Cornbread Casserole. With beans and mock meat for plenty of protein, this easy vegetarian and vegan chili casserole can be prepared in just a few minutes. If you like corn bread, you'll like this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 4 15 ounce cans kidney beans, well drained
  • 2 cups vegetarian ground beef substitute
  • 1 cup corn
  • 2 15 ounce cans tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 cups cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 cups soy milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the beans, beef substitute, corn, tomato sauce and spices and spread in the bottom of a large baking pan.

In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour and baking powder. Slowly whisk in the soy milk, oil and maple syrup, stirring just until combined. Pour this cornbread batter over the chili mixture and spread in the dish.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

You could also make this recipe using leftover chili or canned vegetarian chili.

Worked fine!, Guest Divamoses

Followed the recipe but doubled cornbread and used two big pans & a few small bowls to spread the chili out & enjoy lots of cornbread. My cornmeal was Bob's Red Mill medium grind. Maybe that's why I didn't end up needing quite as much soy milk as suggested. With all those dishes it took 1/2 hour or more of baking. We heated the chili mixture (using soy-based meat substitute) before pouring into pans. We had no problem with getting cornbread nicely baked. Set out butter, honey & shredded cheddar for optional toppings. Served 7, with plenty of leftovers!
