Tamale Pie

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chili. But, if your family devoured your entire pot o' chili, here's what you need:

1 can chili beans (do not drain)
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drain off most of the juice
1-2 T dried onions
2 T taco seasoning, chili seasonings, or your favorite Mexican spices
(OR substitute leftover chili for the above items)

1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg cornbread mix
green onions, sliced (optional)

Combine all of the chili ingredients and pour into ungreased casserole dish. Top with prepared cornbread mix. Sprinkle cheese and onions on top.
Bake uncovered at 375 for 30-35 minutes until cornbread is golden brown and set.
