Idk, it was kinda bland for my taste. I expected more flavor. Maybe I did something wrong?
So easy to make, even for a beginner like me. It’s like comfort food in a dish! 🙂
I’m so glad to hear you found it easy! I made it last week for my family, and they loved it too! 🙂
Is this really a Texas dish? Seems more like a chili casserole. I prefer my cornbread plain.
I was skeptical at first, but this dish turned out to be a hit at our potluck! Thanks for sharing.
I thought cornbread was sweet! Why is this savory? Confused…
Why are there beans in this? Shouldn’t real Texan cuisine be bean-free?
My kids devoured it! Next time, I’m adding cheese on top. Yum!
Just used regular tomatoes instead of Rotel and it worked just fine! Still delicious!
Glad it turned out well for you! I think any type of tomato works, really. Cooking is all about being creative!
Delicious! Just the right amount of spice. I added some cheese on top and it was perfect!
Cheese sounds like a great idea! I’m gonna try that next time. Glad you liked it!
I tried it with jalapeños, and it was way too spicy for me! But I guess everyone’s taste is different.
Made it for a potluck and it disappeared! Everybody loved it. Will definitely make again.
You didn’t mention what size the can of chili should be. Hope mine’s not too much.
Best ever! Even my picky brother liked it. Thanks!
Looks good. I’ll try this but I ain’t keen on the spicy part, so no Rotel for me.
You could always just use regular tomatoes instead of Rotel! I’m not a fan of spicy either, so I totally get it.
Why would u wanna ruin a good recipe by taking out the Rotel? Just try a little bit, you might like it!
This casserole is AMAZING! My family loved it, especially the little kick from the Rotel tomatoes. Will definitely make again!
I don’t know about this one. Beans and chili? That’s a lot of flavors. Not sure if my family will like it.
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out. Do you think it would work with turkey instead of beef?
Yummy! But I feel like it’s too much beef. Maybe chicken next time?
I think the beef is perfect! It gives it a hearty flavor. Chicken wouldn’t be the same!
Yeah, I guess chicken could work, but it’s a casserole! It’s all about the beef, right?
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it. My family’s gonna love it!
Looks good, but isn’t cornbread mix just too easy? Maybe try making it from scratch next time?
I’m sure your family will devour it! It’s a hit for sure.
Cornbread mix? Y’all ain’t making it from scratch? Disappointed.
Sounds easy, but I don’t really like ranch beans… What’s a good substitute?
You could use black beans or pinto beans instead! They’d work well in this recipe.
Just leave out the ranch beans, it won’t be the same but might be okay?
Tried this and it was too spicy for my kids. Gonna tone it down next time.
I totally understand! You could try using less chili or a milder brand next time. My kids handled it okay, but every fam’s different!
