Ingredients

1 Medium onion, chopped
2- 15 ounce Cans chili (I use the Turkey chili from Trader Joe's)
8 ounces Frozen spinach, thawed
1 cup Shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend or Cheddar cheese
1 box Cornbread mix (Trader Joe's large box or two Jiffy 6 ounce boxes)
4 ounce Can green chili (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray with cooking spray an 11 x 7 baking dish.

2. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and saute until tender. Add chili and spinach to skillet and stir well until heated through and combined.

3. Add skillet mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheese over top.

4. In a bowl, combine cornbread mix and 2/3 cup water (or follow cornbread box direction), stirring just until smooth. Mix in can of green chili, if desired. Pour batter over mixture in baking dish.

5. Bake casserole for 30 minutes or until cornbread crust is golden brown.
