Description

Instant Pot Cornbread and Chili Casserole is a cozy, hearty dish that combines sweet cornbread with savory chili, perfect for chilly nights and gatherings with friends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and pepper; let simmer for about five minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, milk, and eggs; mix until smooth.
  4. Pour half of the chili mixture into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Spread the cornbread batter evenly over it before adding the remaining chili on top.
  5. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on high pressure for about 15 minutes. Allow a natural release for about ten minutes before venting any remaining steam.
  6. Serve warm with optional toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
