Spoon Cornbread

Since everyone seems to be snowed in and cold (except for my parents - ya, ya, I know it's warm and sunny and I never should have moved above the Mason-Dixon line. I get it.). I thought I would share with ya'll my perfect accompaniment to the soup that we will all be inevitably making. This is like an amped-up version of cornbread. It's quick and easy, and doesn't even require you to pull out a whisk.

It's starts with good ol' Jiffy mix, then you add creamed and regular corn. There's also some sour cream in there to keep the bread nice and moist. I often make this in muffin tins and freeze any extra muffins. They freeze beautifully and will make even a canned soup night seem homey. If you like sweeter cornbread vs. the kind with some heat, this is for you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years! We are off to Canada for a few days, so assuming I don't become a popsicle while we are there, I will see you all in 2009!

I never tried to make cornbread before, even on thanksgiving! Maybe I should try to do this, because it is kind of traditional American bread, right?
Yours seem pretty manageable to make, and look delicious too.
Cheers,
Elra

I don't think I've ever technically had spoon bread, but I know I would love it since I love cornbread. Looks great!

Hi Elra - Cornbread is definitely a traditional staple in the south where I am from. There are many different types, so please try it if you get a chance!

Hi Tanya - Yum, venison chili! Some of my college friends used to hunt and always made delicious venison chili.

Hi Maria - I hope you like them!!

Hi Emily - Spoon bread just means easy! :)

I love cornbread. I make a similar recipe from everyday food with a lot of sour cream.
