I am a Georgia native. I like for my cornbread to be sweet and to eat just as hardy as the main dish. In the winter sometimes a meal is just a slab of cornbread and a big bowl of greens. I like to add things into my cornbread base depending on what it will be eaten with. The other night we had chili so in the cornbread I added poblano peppers and white cheddar. There are so many possibilities though.
Basic Cornbread
2 boxes of jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 can cream corn
Mix everything together and bake at 400 for 35- 45 mins. Keep an eye out for it. Some people like it dark up top; some don't. All about personal preference when it comes to the doneness of cornbread.
Now for the fun stuff:
1 cup of white cheddar and 2 finely diced poblano peppers for spicy cornbread.
4 crispy strips of bacon, 1 finely chopped jalapeno for the bacon lover in your life.
1 diced onion cooked in 1 tbsp of oil and 1 tsp of salt until caramelized for a sweet and savory taste.
1 diced apple and 1 tsp of cinnamon for something a little more dessert like.
I could keep going, but it is almost bus stop time. I would love to hear any ideas for cornbread that you have! Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!
