Game Day Vegetarian Chili and Krusteaz Cornbread Muffin Recipe is a sponsored post
My husband desperately wanted a son. Of course he never admitted it- and once we had our daughter he even said he couldn’t see himself as a father to anyone but a girl. But that’s the thing about parenthood- it stretches your heart in ways that are hard to articulate. It changes your perception of who you are and all the preconceived notions you had about yourself.
Of course when we had our son- I know my husband was secretly expecting a sidekick in all things sports. Unfortunately for my husband- my son showed ZERO interest in anything even mildly sports-related. We never pushed or prodded him and indulged his interests in comics, drawing and piano while my husband was happily resigned to watching Sunday football on his own.
But when my son turned seven – and he began to HIT THE BALL instead of running away from it while playing his little league team- he started to ask my husband questions about his favorite teams. His interest began quite organically-and after a summer of playing touch football and basketball – his love of sports was cemented. (OF COURSE MY HUSBAND COULD NOT BE HAPPIER to finally have a sports buddy).
And this love of sports extends to spectator sports- and usually on a Sunday my husband and son can be found side by side glued to each other and the FOOTBALL GAME DU JOUR! And this is where my trusty go to Game Day Vegetarian Chili and Krusteaz Cornbread Muffin Recipe comes to the rescue and help me at the very least get in some face time with them in between their breaks from watching the game!
And yes I’ve occasionally been known to just pull up a chair and a plate of Vegetarian Chili and a Krusteaz Cornbread Muffin and join them! Keep reading for my Game Day Vegetarian Chili and Krusteaz Cornbread Muffin Recipe

Yum, what a tasty dish! I love chili and cornbread. My son still hates sports and he’s 17, so I don’t think that’s changing! But then again, they bore me as well. But I like the food that comes with it.
this looks like a great meal to make quick and easy! Im a huge fan of chili but never pair it with cornbread. looks so good!
Do you know my husband never had cornbread with chili until he met me? It was always saltines or oyster crackers. He thought the combo sounded odd, but once I served it, there was no going back. Cornbread has always been a chili staple in our house. For when I don’t have time to make homemade, we keep a box of Krusteaz on hand for quick and delicious cornbread to go with our chili.
OK that’s perfect for a game day celebration! It is easy to make and delicious! I will definitely be making this.
Vegetarian chili and cornbread are my son’s favorite dinner. He just came home from college last weekend and this is exactly what I made him for dinner!
MMMM, I absolutely love cornbread and with chilli, even more so. I will have to try yours, it looks so good!
I adore cornbread and these cornbread muffins are right up my alley! They look absolutely delicious and I want them in my belly… now!
Cornbread and chili – the perfect combo for those cold fall and winter nights. And I love the addition of tofu in your recipe. Yum!
This looks so delicious. I love this brand of cornbread too. It is definitely one of my favorites. It’s really good.
Chili is one of our favorite meals for game day. I have to try your recipe. The picture looks amazing!
I love a good sweet honey corn bread! Krusteaz is actually one of favorite brands! So delicious!
It has been a few years since I’ve made homemade chili. We just had our first cold front in TX and I’m loving it. But now it is time for me to find some good comfort food and soups to make. This chili sounds delicious but I haven’t tried tofu yet. Maybe we will have to give it a try.
I haven’t had chili, because I am vegetarian and chili usually isn’t vegetarian! I would love to try your recipe. Sounds like the perfect fall dish.
I’m so happy to see a vegetarian chili recipe! My youngest child is a vegetarian, so our family mostly eats a plant-based diet as well. Corn muffins are a favorite at our house!
Vegetarian chili for game day? It sounds like a smart choice! I love corn muffins or cornbread! Thanks so much for the recipe!
The chili is an incredible idea! I love this recipe and I’ll be making this soon!
