Easy Homemade Cornbread
Freshly baked cornbread speaks smoked meat slathered in bbq sauce, mac and cheese and Meaty Baked Beans. Cornbread also reminds me of a holiday meal with Cornbread Dressing, an everyday chili meal with bread on the side or it’s perfect with Ham and Bean Soup served over a piece.
A friend shared their family’s homemade cornbread recipe. While cornbread isn’t a regular item on our dinner rotation we love trying a variety of recipes.
This cornbread recipe is so easy to make we won’t need to keep a box mix on hand anymore. Cornmeal plus basic baking ingredients can be quickly mixed up in less than 5 minutes and baked for 30 minutes.
Baking in a 450ºF oven forms a wonderful top crust. For a soft top lower the oven temperature.
