Trader Joe's Thursdays

It's almost Christmas and we are all busy so here is one of the easiest meals ever! And it's under $10.

Chili Cornbread Bake and Brown Sugar Carrots
1 box of TJ's cornbread mix
2 cans of TJ's chicken chili
bag of TJ's organic baby carrots

~Prepare the cornbread mix according to directions. Put chili into a baking dish and spread out. I use a 10 inch round dish but I also like a 9x13. (The bigger the dish the thinner the cornbread and faster it cooks). Pour cornbread mix on top, trying to cover chili. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes, depending on size of dish.
Steam the carrots. Put a TBSP. of butter and a TBSP. of brown sugar in a skillet. Cook until bubbly and sugar is melted. Add carrots to coat.
Serve immediately.
P.S. If you like things with a kick, put some Frank's sauce on top of the cornbread when you serve it.
