Vegan Cornbread Chili Pie Recipe (2024)

What cornbread mixes are vegan? ›

I love a steamy bowl of chili with cornbread and a few corn chips to scoop up the spicy beef chili. I love all kinds of chili with all kinds of ingredients, but my favorite chili is a Texas-style Bowl of Red and that means no beans!

Chili is the official meal of the state of Texas and is often used for events such as cook offs or tailgates. Cornbread originated in America and was first cooked by the Native Americans and the colonists.

Can I substitute water for milk in cornbread mix? Yes, you can, but it may result in a less rich flavor. If you're out of milk, try using cream or half-and-half, evaporated or powdered milk, or even plain yogurt. If you have dietary restrictions, try soy milk or oat milk.

The slightly sweet and buttery taste of the cornbread makes the experience of eating a filling bowl of chili all the more comforting. This is the epitome of a nice home-cooked meal. A hunk of cornbread is perfect for soaking up just the right amount of liquid from the chili, making for the perfect bite with every dunk.

Cornmeal does an excellent job of absorbing extra liquids so adding a tablespoon of it to the chili will thicken the final dish. Mix 2 parts of cold water and 1 part of cornmeal, make it a slurry, and add this to the pot. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes after you add the slurry.

The vegetarian version of this popular corn bread mix was a surprise to us. (It doesn't have lard like the classic mix; it uses vegetable shortening.) We expected a good bit of Jiffy's savory flavor came from that lard, but surprisingly this wasn't all that different from the original mix.

The expression "someone's cornbread ain't done in the middle" is a southern American idiom that means that someone is not very smart or intelligent. The metaphor of "cornbread" refers to a popular southern bread made from cornmeal, which is often baked in a pan.

Cornbread is as American as apple pie, but its origins date back far beyond the inception of this country. With roots in Mesoamerican, Native American, and African cultures; history and people have shaped this iconic American bread into what it is today.

One key reason cornbread has always been a Southern staple is the predominance of corn among Southern crops. Wheat and rye didn't store well in the heat and humidity of the South. Although the South is known for its biscuits, they were a rarity in earlier centuries. Instead, cornbread was the daily bread of the South.
