Instructions



1. To make Chili: Cut beef into 1/2-inch cubes. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat, then brown beef in batches. Transfer to a bowl.
   
2. Add onion, garlic, celery, carrot, chili powder, oregano and pepper to pot. Fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened (about 5 minutes).
   
3. Return beef and any juice to the pot. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until beef is tender. Transfer to a 9x13 glass baking dish.
   
4. If making ahead, refrigerate overnight or freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator. Add coriander then heat in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish covered with foil at 400° F. until bubbly (about 30 minutes), then add cornbread topping.
   
5. Cornbread Topping: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, butter and egg and pour over flour mixture. Sprinkle with corn and stir just until combined.
   
6. Spoon in 8 dollops over filling. Sprinkle with cheese.
   
7. Bake in a 400° F. oven until topping is browned and no longer doughy underneath, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
