1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds ground beef
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin

What to Do

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil; saute onion and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Add ground beef and brown 8 to 10 minutes, or until no pink remains; drain off excess liquid. Add remaining ingredients except muffin mix and cheese; mix well. Cover and simmer over low heat 20 to 25 minutes, or until thickened.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spoon chili into prepared baking dish. Prepare muffin mix as directed on package; stir in cheese. Spread mixture over chili.
Bake 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cornbread topping comes out clean. Cool slightly and serve.

This is good, but the cornbread will not get done in 20 min. at 375 degrees. You normally bake Jiffy Corn Muffins at 400 degrees. I baked mine 20 min., then 3 more min. and it still isn't done in the middle.

Looks very yummy! Not sure who is entertaining this xmas season but if they are they need their heads examined with covid cases on the rise across the world! Stay home and eat it all yourselves!
