For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a diced bell pepper or a can of diced tomatoes to the chili. If you prefer a sweeter cornbread, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup. To check if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready! Allow the chili to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh cilantro for an extra touch.
