  • Pre-heat oven to 425°F
  • Fill your ramekins with chili to just over 3/4 full. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and spoon with cornbread topping to cover chili and cheese.
  • Place ramekins on cookie sheet (it’s easier to handle them and saves on oven cleaning if the chili bubbles up and over).
  • Place potpies in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. I rotate mine halfway through because my propane oven has a hot spot.
  • Once cornbread is golden, remove and enjoy (carefully – the filling is HOT!).
