I made this chili for our chili cook-off at work and it won a prize for most original. It's got a sweet flavor that's really intriguing.

We weren't sure what to expect when making this white chili and cornbread bake recipe, but we were thrilled with the results. The cornbread bakes perfectly atop the dish and helps to thicken the chili below. The cornbread does absorb a lot of the chili, and the final result is similar to a cornbread casserole. Two delicious treats in one recipe. Brilliant!
