Cooking Steps
Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.
Lightly oil a muffin tin. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
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.
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.
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.
Bake until golden brown, 13-17 minutes. Serve warm (or bake ahead and reheat briefly in the microwave).

Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Chili had good flavor with the right amount of heat, though some found it spicy. Cornbread swirls were tasty but biscuity.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it great for busy nights or on-the-go meals 🍲.
- Suggestions: Consider cutting the peppers smaller for better texture. Try pairing the chili with other dishes like tortilla melts.
- Portions: Good portion size for 2-3 people; some wished for more chili given the price.
- Texture: Some found the meat a bit chewy; cornbread was less crumbly than traditional versions.
Reviews from our home cooks
The cornbread swirls were very biscuity and less cornbread-y than I would've liked and the peppers in the chili were huge and needed to be cut smaller.
My husband said the chili was so good that he wanted to lick the bowl! :-) Lol! The cheese had to be discarded since it was completely warm when the box arrived. We received credit for the box, but the chili was slightly cool so we took a chance on it. We will definitely purchase it again.
The chili went great with the Cheesy Beef Tortilla Melts! The cornbread was tasty, but actually didn't like the combo.
Good portion size for the price on sale, and cornbread swirls were fun.
The chili is okay but not great. The corn bread rolls need to be a little more like corn bread.
Very good taste but would not serve more than 2 people as far as the chili itself
This was good and easy. I wish ALL the meals were this easy. Only problem is that the corn bread can was already popped open when we received the box.
Really like the chili, not the corn bread it's too chewy not crumbly like regular cornbread.
Flavors were on point. Meat was a little chewy for my liking.
Delicious, just the right amount of heat, not too much.
