Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef with salt and pepper.
Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in tomato paste; cook 1–2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, beans, and broth.
Add chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, chipotle, salt, pepper, and honey.
Let simmer uncovered 10–12 minutes to thicken.
While the chili simmers, whisk the cornbread ingredients (or stir together the boxed mix).
Top + bake
Spread the cornbread batter evenly over the chili.
Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, until the top is golden and cooked through.
Scoop big servings and add toppings like pepper jack cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
