Today I’m sharing one of 0ur favorite recipes (two, actually!) for Fall. The best ever Chili recipe + Iron Skillet Cornbread! We love this on game days and just because when the weather gets cooler.
This Chili recipe takes about an hour to whip up, and the cornbread takes just half an hour. It really is the best Chili recipe we’ve ever made, and I doubt we will ever have to find a different one. We’ve even substituted the ground beef with veggie crumbles to make this meatless!

Next, you are going to want this AMAZING corn bread to go with your chili. So, grab an 8 inch iron skillet, or a round cake pan.
