Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Make the chili: Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until soft and browned. Add the garlic and jalapeño, and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, until cooked through and browned. If there is a large amount of excess oil, spoon out of the skillet and discard.
- Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and water, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the cornbread batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
- While whisking continuously, slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moistened.
- Remove the chili from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the surface.
- Pour the cornbread batter over the chili and cheese, and spread evenly all the way to the edges of the pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Scoop the chili and cornbread into bowls and garnish with cilantro.
- Enjoy!
