  1. Made this last nite and it really filled the bill! I had lots of homemade (no meat,soy crumbles) chili in the freezer, also frozen corn. I was concerned that it would not serve eight, no less my four hungry male students!, so I doubled up on everything. Had enough corn bread to cover the whole thing. I also chopped a serrano chile and added it to the topping. Served it with warm corn tortillas and a simple salad. The guys LOVED it. This is great for a meatless meal!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Saskatoon, Sask. Canada. I'm retired, living alone and loving it. I'm a cross-stitch addict and spend hours every day stitching; I love to cook and try new recipes. I have two long shelves full of recipe books that I have to admit I rarely look at as I have a foot long recipe box with all my favorites in it.
