• Bake in the preheated oven until cornbread is crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes, ketchup, tomato puree, and water stirring to make a rich red sauce. When the chili starts to boil sprinkle over the cocoa and stir it in. Add the beans and simmer partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. At this point you can cool and freeze the chili, or just keep it in the refrigerator overnight.

• Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the cornbread and then bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cornbread topping is risen and golden and the chili underneath is bubbling. How long this takes depends on the how cold or hot the chili was when it went into the oven. Since it's such a huge vat, you may find it easiest to reheat it on the stove in its pan first.
• Let the chili stand for about 5 minutes once out of the oven before cutting the cornbread top into squares or slices to serve with a helping of chili underneath.
• Mash the avocados with the scallions and add the juice of up to 2 limes, to taste. Stir in most of the cilantro and turn into 2 bowls, sprinkling each with the remaining cilantro.

• Heat the oil in 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and toss with 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal. Add the beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned, 6 to 10 minutes.

• Add chopped bell peppers (and olives if using). Stir well. Adjust seasoning as desired. ** Stop here for OAMC. See notes below.
• To make the Cornbread Topping: mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder. Add melted butter,buttermilk or milk, and egg. Stir well. Add grated cheddar cheese, green chilis including juice, (and green onions if using). Stir well. ** See OAMC topping notes below.
• Next, spoon the prepared cornbread topping mix (see below) over the chili. Bake at 350, or (on high in the crockpot) for about 45-60 minutes (or until topping is set).
• Serve with sourcream, green onions, or other condiments as desired.
• ** OAMC notes for chili: Follow the recipe up through mixing in the bell peppers, but before making & adding the topping. For a family of 5, I like to separate this recipe into 4 batches, which can then later be baked in a medium sized slow cooker or in a 2.5 to 3 qt casserole in the oven. I freeze each batch in a glass or foil baking dish.
• ** OAMC notes for the topping: mix all ingredients except the egg and milk in a large bowl. Then separate into labeled freezer bags, noting how much egg & milk to add. (If you make 4 servings as I do, it will be add 1/2 c milk and 1/2 egg to each bag.)
• ** OAMC serving directions: Thaw the chili in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave. Heat in microwave or in an oven at 325 until hot (about 45 minutes in an oven). Mix the frozen topping mixture with the milk & egg, then spoon over the chili & return to oven at 350. Bake until topping is set, about 45-60 minutes.
