CORNBREAD RECIPE
What I really love about this cornbread recipe is how simple it is! It's as easy as stirring in the ingredients and then popping it into the oven to bake! While you can use any pan for this, I LOVE using my cast iron pan. My grandma used it all the time growing up and it's one thing I've stuck to as well! Cornbread comes out so perfect when baked in the cast iron - it's an absolute MUST if you don't already! But if you don't have cast iron, a springform pan or any 9-inch baking dish works perfectly as well.

HI Brandie,
I love the tip on the springform pan as an option. That is seriously the thickest cornbread that I've ever seen ~ so now that I've seen it, that's my new cornbread height goals! It just looks amazing ~ can't wait to try it!
I have had this recipe for years but it's called "Charlie Bread"... YuMMM!
I add a pound of browned sausage to mine. Yummmmm
I put this on my menu for next week! Looks amazing. This is my favorite recipe website.
My Mexican cornbread is very similar...I just add a pound of ground beef which I've browned with a little onion, salt and pepper. Some people like to make this a layer in the middle but I loke to stir it in so every bite is complete. A great 1 pan supper.
Very good we made it even good couple days later heated in microwave
Wow - thank you so much Lynn! You were so sweet to take the time to come back and comment!
Could u use the jiffy cornbread mix??
Love this recipe
