The Best Easy Cornbread Recipe.

Originally published Jan 2015

Our family has traveled extensively in the southern states and have sampled cornbread in practically every state south of the Mason Dixon line. Although we’ve had many versions from jalapeno to cheddar and onion, we mostly make good old plain cornbread.

It goes perfectly with some of our favourite barbecue meals like Bourbon BBQ Ribs or Double BBQ Chicken.

We do make it all year though, even with favourite winter comfort food meals like Apple Braised Pulled Pork or Bacon Brown Sugar Baked Beans.

The Best Easy Cornbread Recipe.

Because it’s so quick and easy to make, you really can enjoy it with so many family meals. Nothing says homemade comfort like something warm from the oven and if you make a large batch you can even freeze the leftovers.

Try using it in Apple Pecan Stuffing to go with a Sunday roast chicken dinner.
