In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) . Once hot add the Yellow Onion (1) and Garlic (3 cloves) to the skillet and stir fry until fragrant. Add Beyond Meat® Beef Ground (8 oz) and continue to cook until onions are beginning to soften for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the Chili Powder (2 Tbsp) , Smoked Paprika (1 Tbsp) , Ground Cumin (1 Tbsp) , Tomato Paste (1 can) , Salt (as needed) , and Granulated Sugar (as needed) . Cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the Red Kidney Beans (1 can) , Diced Tomatoes (1 can) , Vegetable Broth (1 cup) , and Soy Sauce (1 tsp) . Stir to combine and bring up any bits from the bottom and then cook for an additional 10 minutes (up to an hour).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

While the chili is simmering, prepare the cornbread in a medium mixing bowl by combining Cornbread Mix (1 box) , Egg (1) , Milk (1 cup) , and Canola Oil (1/2 cup) .

Once the chili is cooked, pour the cornbread batter over the top and bake for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.
