Add chili powder, garlic powder, onion flakes, cumin, black pepper, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce and beans. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into 9" x 9" baking pan, then layer cheese.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and sugar.
- In a small bowl, beat egg, melted butter, oil and milk. Fold flour mixture and egg mixture together (you should see some lumps, which is fine, don’t over beat).
- Pour mixture over chili and bake for 25 minutes uncovered, then 20 minutes covered at 350° F and then turn off oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
