Caramelized onions bring tons of flavor and amp up traditional cornbread in my Sweet Onion Cornbread recipe. This is not your typical dry cornbread recipe.

Pair this with a juicy steak, chili, or good ole country vegetables and your taste buds will be forever grateful.

Sauteed onions and cheddar cheese are the perfect additions that take this basic cornbread recipe to a whole new level. There is no doubt this recipe will be making a regular appearance at our dinner table.

SWEET ONION CORNBREAD

Well, I hate to admit when I make a mistake. This post was supposed to be about Broccoli Cornbread. But, I accidentally picked up frozen spinach instead of broccoli at the grocery. So, I had to get creative. This recipe is what I came up with! Sometimes, kitchen accidents turn out to be, well, not so bad!!

Caramelized onions add a nice depth of flavor and sweetness to traditional Southern cornbread. I like to serve it hot with butter. In fact, I can make of meal on this simple recipe.

    We love a good cornbread, and this version with the addition of the sweet onions was over the top delicious! The sweetness really shown through, and goes so well with the corn bread mix.

    For many, many years I have put sauteed green peppers and onion in my jiffy cornbread mix and then I serve it with homemade chili over it covered with cheddar cheese. Very tasty I must say and nice to see you adding onions,too, Paula.

    Oh, this looks like a better recipe than I have–hehe, just the jiffy mix alone. I never thought to add cheese or sour cream to it. I'm honored that you linked to Sharing the Shelter. Hope you come link up again.
