What bonds people better than experiencing a bank robbery together? Many things, actually.
Such as (annual) trips to the Wisconsin Dells. Late night movies and Papa Murphy’s pizza. Long walks. A mechanical bull. And, yes, a bank robbery experience.
But this particular friendship has taken itself to a new level with the introduction of a perfect chili-corn casserole. That’s a BFF right there.
Did we top this off with guacamole? I think the answer is obvious.

Pin RecipeDescription
This chili-corn casserole with polenta is the perfect use for leftover chili. Simple, delicious comfort food.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ears corn, kernels cut off
- Kosher salt
- 6 scallions, chopped
- 3 to 4 cups leftover chili
- 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack or monterey jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 1 18–ounce tube precooked polenta, cut into 12 rounds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the scallions and cook until soft, about 1 minute.
- Spread the chili in an 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with half of the cheese followed by half of the corn mixture. Lay the polenta rounds on top, then sprinkle with the remaining corn and cheese.
- Bake until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
