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 and can be a great way to use up leftover chili, if you have some. If you like cornbread, you'll like this recipe.

4 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups vegetarian ground beef substitute
1 cup corn
2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 cups cornmeal
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups soy milk, or another non-dairy milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Gather the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. 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 any kind of leftover chili or canned vegetarian chili.
