Take the chili casserole out of the oven, the lentils by now should be al dente, or just about done. There should be barely any liquid in the mixture. If it's too liquidy, then bake for another 10 minutes. Spread the cornbread mixture over the casserole, and even it out with a spatula, spread the sliced jalapenos on top.
