Fill your belly and your soul with some good Southern cooking (no matter what region you live in). Cheesy cornbread tops a pie filled with onion, spicy jalapeño, and BBQ-spiced chicken, all mixed with BBQ sauce for extra BBQ flavor. This is one of those meals that looks and tastes like it took you hours, deciphered from some old handwritten recipe. And with bellies and souls happily filled with this pie, no one will guess the truth.
