Skillet Cornbread – A quick and easy side dish great for a weeknight dinner or the holidays. Made in a cast iron skillet with just a few simple ingredients.
Skillet Cornbread
One of the best parts of soup, stew, and chili season (aka fall and winter) is getting to have a whole bunch of cornbread. Whether it is cornbread muffins, cornbread in a skillet, cornbread dumplings, corn meal mush, etc, I think it all tastes great.
For this recipe, I wanted to pull out my handy cast iron skillet and make it in that. Now you can really customize this recipe by adding corn, jalapenos, bacon, etc but I just kept it plain and simple with no extra add ins. It is just nice and fluffy inside with a crisp crust on the outside that makes it perfect to serve on the side with a slab of butter on top or crumbled into a bowl of chili.
