Cornbread is a staple side dish in our household. We often eat a certain boxed brand for convenience, but let’s be honest. It’s not always the best. Sometimes you just need an easy homemade cornbread recipe to take your tastebuds to another level.
We serve cornbread with almost any meal that has gravy or a sauce, but especially with greens, BBQ and stews. The nice thing about cornbread is its flexibility / versatility. It can be warmed and served with jam and butter for breakfast, served as a side to a soup for lunch and as mentioned above it can accompany several main dishes for dinner. It can be an every day side or added to your Thanksgiving menu.
This cornbread made from scratch is so good and moist that you’ll probably never want to go back to the boxed brands!
