Loaded Cornbread
Description
This Loaded Cornbread recipe starts by warming the oven to 425°F. Butter is placed in a cast iron skillet and melted to create a sizzling base that adds flavor and helps prevent sticking. Meanwhile, cornmeal, eggs, milk, oil, cheddar cheese, sugar, cooked crumbled bacon, creamed corn, and diced jalapenos are mixed thoroughly to form a thick, flavorful batter.
The hot skillet is removed from the oven and the batter poured evenly inside, or alternately poured into a greased baking pan. Baking for 25 to 30 minutes produces a golden crust with tender, moist interior. The added cheese, bacon, and jalapenos provide layers of taste and texture that elevate this cornbread beyond the basic recipe.
Serving this cornbread warm allows the cheese to remain melty and the bacon's smoky flavor to stand out. It pairs well with a variety of meals, from southern style dinners to chili or barbecue. Allowing it to cool slightly before slicing helps retain structure and makes serving easier.
