WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love cornbread, so this is just another way of making one of our favorite dishes. It goes great with just about any dish, but we do love to enjoy it with a gravy-style recipe. It’s so good warm with lots of butter!
SWAPS
You can use regular sweet corn instead of shoepeg is you prefer. We like to make our cornbread with buttermilk. In our opinion, it just makes it much better. You can also switch up the cheese if you like, use colby jack or just sharp cheddar. This is a versatile recipe you can tweak to make your own.
TIP
We make this in a 10 inch iron skillet, you can use a larger skillet but it will cook faster. You could also make this in a square pan (spray the pan) and adjust the cooking time. Also if you read the comments you will see that many people added hamburger for a great addition.
