  1. Hello, I am from europe (germany) and as too often, I can´t find the ready made mixes at our stores, could I substitute the cornbread mix with cornflower and eggs? I gess I am not the only non-american once a month fan, maybe others know this problem too (I haven´t even heard of hashbrowns here, are they a sort of shredded raw potatoes?)

    1. Hi Sandra! Yes you could substitute it with cornflower or cornmeal. And hashbrowns are just raw shredded potatoes. Happy cooking!

  2. When freezing, we freeze the cornbread mixture raw on top of the chili, correct?Also, how long will this meal keep in the freezer?

    1. Desiree, that is correct. Just pour the cornbread mix on top of the chili and freeze. It should last 3-6 months in the freezer as long as it is covered tightly.
