Don’t let the name fool you—chili isn’t just for cold weather! This classic version has chunks of beef, black beans, and colorful bell peppers, AKA the perfect combo for any season. Speaking of perfect combos, there’s cheese for topping AND cornbread on the side for dunking. Oh, and did we mention this chili only needs a ~3 minute visit to the microwave before you can dig in? Get ready to warm your heart and your belly. Nutrition values are representative of 1/3 of a bundle.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.

2

Lightly oil a muffin tin. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

3

RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into serving bowl. Top chili with about half of the cheese.

4

ALTERNATIVELY: Cut one corner of the bag; pour chili into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.) Top chili with about half of the cheese.

5

Separate rolls into 6 rounds (do not unroll dough). Place each round into a prepared muffin cup. Top each round with cheese with about half the cheese.

6

Bake until golden brown, 13-17 minutes. Serve warm (or bake ahead and reheat briefly in the microwave).

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the hearty chili, though some found it too salty or spicy. The cornbread swirls were a hit! 🌶️
  • Ease of prep: Chili was easy to prepare in the bag. Cornbread swirls were simple to bake and a fun treat for kids.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding corn, peppers, cilantro, and salsa to boost flavor. Pair with other dishes to stretch the meal.
  • Texture: Some found the meat chunks tough or oddly textured. A few thought the vegetables were too chunky.
  • Cornbread: Most loved the cornbread, but a few felt it was more biscuit-like than traditional cornbread.

The chili was really good with chunky savory pieces of meat. The cornbread swirls were a nice treat for the kids as well. I actually paired this with the shrimp and sausage boil since I had more people and needed to stretch the food.

Delicious! Loved that it came with the cheese and cornbread. Only wish it came with premade mini muffins instead of the Pillsbury swirls which didn't really taste like cornbread to us. They were too chewy- almost like a biscuit.

The cheese and corn bread was really good but the chili was very salty. It wasn't bad just too salty for my taste.

Will not repurchase. Chili was very basic. Mostly beans. Not worth the price.
