Chop the green bell pepper and Vidalia onion into small pieces.

Cook the ground beef in a medium pan.

Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the pan with the meat.

Break down the meat using a chopper until there are no big pieces.

Season the meat with onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and a dash or two of sugar.

Add 2 packets of chili seasoning to the meat since there are 2 lbs of meat.

If not using seasoning packets, use 1.5 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, and 1 tablespoon of paprika instead.

Prepare the cornbread mix by adding sugar to the bowl.

Add the Jiffy cornbread mix, 1 egg, and milk to the bowl and mix well.

Grease an oven-proof pan with oil and pour the cornbread mixture into it.

Bake the cornbread in the oven at 350 degrees.

Once the ground beef is cooked, drain it in a colander to remove excess oil.

Add 29 oz of tomato sauce, 14 or 15 oz of diced tomatoes with juice, and 14 or 15 oz of crushed tomatoes to the meat.

Stir the mixture before adding the beans.

Add 1 can of light kidney beans, leaving some brine in for flavor.

Stir gently to avoid mushing the beans.
