Reduce heat and allow to simmer, partially covered for 40 minutes. If chili is too thick add water. If its too thin let it sit on the heat longer.
For the Cornbread Topping
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine oil, egg, and milk in small bowl; mix well. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until blended.
Assembly
Pour chili into a deep glass dish 3/4 of the way up. Spoon cornbread mixture on top (you won't be using it all). Remember, it rises quite a bit so leave enough depth in the dish. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. bake for 20 minutes or until cornbread topping is browned. If cheese is browning too fast, cover with foil.
