The Best Corn Bread!

This recipe truly is the best cornbread. I make it every time I make chili. Chili, cornbread and salad is my go-to meal on a cold, snowy night. Every time I make this cornbread for other people they always love it, and many ask for the recipe. It’s best made in a cast iron skillet to give it that even cooking, and nice, crispy bottom.

You can change it up too by adding some creamed corn, diced jalapenos, chopped roasted red peppers, and chives to the mix before baking it. If using creamed corn, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
