Cornbread is always a good compliment to a nice warm bowl of homemade chili. But boxed varieties sometimes just don’t cut it. They tend to be dry and too crumbly. So I decided to search for a good, easy recipe for the homemade variety.
This cornbread recipe was very simple to make. The cornbread itself turned out nice and dense. It had plenty of moisture, wasn’t too crumbly and was plenty sweet. A slice of this heavy cornbread goes a long way.
