At my house we use Jiffy. The way we like it is fry up some 2 lbs of sloppy joes and mix a couple boxes of Jiffy,put half of Jifffy in a Bundt pan pushing some of the batter up the side. Next put in sloppy joes and then pour rest of jiffy on top. bake according to package directions. Love all the comments. I am going to try some,especialy the Chili Pie recipe. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Although we are transplanted Yankees, we do love cornbread in our house, although it’s almost always with homemade vegetable soup. And Mexican cornbread is always the favorite. I make it with yellow cornmeal, eggs, cream style corn from the can, sour cream and lots of shredded pepper-jack cheese (with jalapeneos), and of course the salt, baking soda and Crisco… gets a nice crust, but the inside is so moist and flavorful you really don’t need butter with it.

growing up in PA my Dad and Grandparents, used to make it with chili, ham and beans soup, pancakes, and other stuff, but my favorite was like cereal in a bowl, with regular milk and some sugar sprinkled on top. It’s not half bad with beef stew either. Dont forget the hush puppies . . . they are great with fried fish and just about everything now that i think of it!

I came across this looking for something different to do with cornbread…and love the ideas. I use the Jiffy mix, and tried my hand at making up my own recipe. This is what it is: Brown 1 lb of hamburger, in a small bowl mix 2 Tbs of taco seaoning with 1/2 cup of water, and add to hamburg. Then add 1 cup of salsa and 1 cup of cooked corn. Let simmer for about ten mins. Make cornbread mix following box directions. Place hamburger mixture in a breadpan and pour cornbread mix on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 mins. Enjoy.

I like cornbread with greens (spinach, swiss chard, etc) and gravy. Homemade white gravy. I think this is a southern thing because it is how My grandma and mom always eat it.

I find it strange that so many people like corn bread with chili. I was raised to eat fritos and crackers with my chili.
I like corn bread with beans and with bacon fried rice.
I also just enjoy it on its own for a snack.

My grand parents would eat cornbread in a bowl with buttermilk poured over it. Is there a southern nick name for this snack? No one seems to know. Growing up, I always thought there was a name for it, but cannot seem to find and answer. Thanks in advance….

I realize this post is an older one, but I had to mention cornbread dumplings. It is sooooo good and takes the old cornbread and chili and gives it a whole new taste.

Stir together 1/2 c. flour, 1/2 c shredded cheddar, 1/3 c yellow cornmeal, 1 tsp. baking powder, and a dash of pepper. Combine 1 beaten egg, 2 tablespoons milk and 2 tablespoons cooking oil. Add to flower and stir with a fork just till combined.

Simply drop the mix by tablespoonfuls into simmering chili. Simmer, covered, about 20 min. more or till a toothpick inserted into dumplings comes out clean.

This makes 4 servings.

I have done variations on this recipe like adding, chilis to the cornbread mixture or even some corn. They are sooo good!
