Steps

  1. Fry bacon at medium-high heat in big skillet.

  3. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add beef pieces and hamburger meat, and cook until lightly done (maybe 8 or 10 minutes).
  6. While beef is cooking, start on cornbread.
  7. Add tomatoes to skillet and cook 1 minute, stirring deeply to keep anything from sticking to the bottom.
  8. Adjust seasoning as necessary, and remove from heat.
  9. Melt, then cool butter.
  10. Whisk butter, egg, and milk together.
  11. Combine cornmeal, flour, and salt, then add baking powder and baking soda.
  12. Stir liquid mixture into dry mixture.
  13. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  14. Spray a 9x12-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  15. Transfer the chili to the baking pan and smooth surface.
  16. Spoon cornbread mixture over chili mixture, and smooth with a large spoon.
  17. Bake about 20 minutes, or until cornbread pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  18. Serve in bowls, making sure every large spoonful has both textures.
