Simply follow the directions on the 2 Alarm Chili Kit package, but beware of the red pepper unless you like chili very, very spicy. I typically leave out the red pepper altogether. Even without it, it still has a little heat from the chili powder. (so you may omit some chili powder as well if you don't want any kick) I add more tomato sauce than the directions call for, as well as kidney beans and stewed tomatoes, after the spices are added. I also add a little water at a time so I can get the consistency I like. (not too thick, not too thin) I simmer for at least an hour before serving. (the longer, the better) When serving, add shredded cheese and onions. Sour cream would also be lovely.

For the cornbread, follow the directions on the Jiffy box, times two. (use both boxes together) Add one tablespoon of sugar to the batter. Sugar makes a HUGE difference in the taste! (tip from my awesome Mother-in-Law) Pour in a 9x13 dish, or a 8x8 cake pan for a thicker cornbread. Bake at least 15 minutes, but it may take a bit longer. (depends on oven) Do the toothpick in the middle trick to make sure it is ready.
