This vegan cornbread chili pie recipe can be made in 55 mins using cornbread as the pie and chili as the filling! Why have a chili pie with cornbread on the side when you can make both all in a skillet!
If you’re looking for a weekday dinner for the family, this meaty and filling vegan chili cornbread pie is perfect. If you follow my recipe using a skillet, it also becomes a one-dish dinner which makes it easier to clean up after dinnertime. This was inspired by Reese Witherspoon’s non-vegan cornbread chili pie!
I personally used the plant-based ground fromMeatless Farm Co for this recipe since it was gifted to me when I was recipe developing with them. I love this product but if their ground isn’t available to you, feel free to use any plant-based minced meat for this recipe! As always, I am always 100% honest with my reviews and vegan recommendations, and would never work with anyone I did not agree with.
