How to Prepare Chili Sin Carne Cornbread Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine the milk and apple cider vinegar in a cup and set aside.
In a large pot sauté the onion in olive oil over medium-low heat until soft and tender. Add garlic and bell pepper and increase to medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Add the beans, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to combine. Add in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes covered, stirring occasionally .
Meanwhile, pre-heat oven to 425˚ F. Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with a fork until well combined.
Pour chili mixture into a 9 inch skillet or 2 quart casserole dish, leaving some room (1″-2″) to pour the cornmeal mixture. (You may have some leftover which you can freeze for an easy lunch). Pour the cornbread mixture over the chili in the skillet. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Notes

To save time for cooking dried beans I start them in the morning by covering them in a pot with water, boil the water while I’m cooking breakfast and then turn off before I leave for work, leaving them covered. This allows them to cook in the low heat contained in the pot throughout the day and may only take another 20 minutes to cook when I return home.
