Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the chili mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a medium bowl, prepare the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix according to the package instructions by combining the mix, egg, and milk. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently spread the cornbread batter over the chili layer in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cornbread topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the chili pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optional: Top with sour cream and green onions if desired.
