Was looking for something different and quick for a change, this filled the bill nicely. I cut the recipe in half and made it in 2 ramikins, served individual ramikins on a plate with a tossed green salad. It went over quite well, but the chili was a little loose. I used the ground beef and half a boxed cornbread mix. Thanks for sharing.
