Chili and Cornbread!! OMG!!

So for the past few days I've been debating on making chili from scratch, and today finally became the day where I stopped procrastinating and did it. I looked at some recipes online to get a sense of cooking times, and pretty much went off what I had in my apartment.

1 rather large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 bag of Gardenstart's mock ground beef
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1/2 bag of frozen corn
1 package of chili spice mix, with added chili powder, black pepper, and a lot of garlic

I cooked the onion for about 5 minutes with the garlic I had in the fridge, then put in the bell peppers and the Gardenstart. I let that cook til the frozen meat was nice and hot, then added the spices and the beans and corn. I probably simmered it for about 45 minutes, then ate it with some cornbread I made from a mix (Marie Callender's Honey Bread Cornbread Mix).

The chili was decent enough, though next time I think I'd put in the corn same time as the mock meat so they can get a bit softer, and I really need to put in some more spices next time. I hear chili is a dish that is always better the next day, so I guess I'll see if tomorrow's serving will make me think differently. I definitely needed more chilies in my chili, and I think I'll need some corn flour so I can thicken the liquid instead of just cooking most of it out.
