Homemade Southern Cornbread

I wanted to name this post

“This Cornbread is so dang good it will make you squeal!”

But, that title seemed a little too long so I just called it…

” Homemade Southern Cornbread “

Now, what the title doesn’t tell you is that it is

chock full of sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon,

cream corn and fresh green chives.

Oh, and sour cream.

Huh?  In a cornbread?

It’s my “secret” ingredient.

Yep…sour cream ain’t just for potatoes any more.  🙂

I started adding sour cream to my Mama’s Cornbread

recipe a few years ago. Her recipe calls for Buttermilk, and when I have

homemade buttermilk on hand I will use that.

 I rarely buy buttermilk.

{ I will be sharing my Homemade Butter &

Buttermilk Recipes next week.}

I also used my Homemade Cornbread Mix recipe.

I won’t bore you with all the minor details.

There really isn’t anything complicated about putting this recipe together.

It’s not as if you are making Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon.  

🙂

You just throw everything into a mixing bowl,

give it a few whirls with a spoon,

and throw it in an iron skillet.*

*Preferably.  

It would not be “Southern” cornbread if it weren’t

cooked in an iron skillet.

But, that’s okay if you don’t have one.  

Just make sure you use a lightly greased pan.

Cheesy, Corny, Bacony, Chivy.

Yep, that describes this Homemade Southern Cornbread to a T.

Oh, I left out one descriptive word.

YUMMY!

I promise you it will be one of the best and most moist Cornbreads you

will ever be blessed to put in your mouth.

Try it with some Taco Soup, or Chili or a good ole’ pot of beans ‘n ham.

Here is the recipe… I doubled the recipe to make a large pan.

Bacon-y. Cheesy. And just a touch of sweetness. Plus a surprise ingredient gives it just a slight tartness that is unexpected. Super moist and delicious! Guaranteed to be THE best Cornbread Recipe you've ever made!
