southern cornbread
I am not usually a cornbread lover. My husband is and was raised on Southern style cooking. His mom passed away at the age of 19 and I have tried to always incorporate meals or sides that his mom would have made. Everyone I have ever made this for loves it!

Such a delightful change from traditional cornbread! If you are "Team Savory" for cornbread and not into sweet cornbread, you'll adore this recipe. It's fluffy, tender, and literally melts in your mouth. Creamed corn and sour cream keep this from being dry. Heating the cast iron skillet in the oven with oil is the way most Southerners make cornbread and it makes the edges crispy. This will be perfect with beans, soups, chili, or just for snacking.
