NOTES, TIPS, AND VARIATIONS: Be sure to leave the corn and red kidney beans undrained before adding into the mixture. This prevents the pie from being too dry and lacking the "soupy" consistency that tastes the best. Also, cook the cornbread a little crispy on top to compliment the "soupy" consistency. Add more or less salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste.

WARNINGS: All ovens vary. Be aware when baking the dish after the mixture is complete to not over or under cook.
