Being from the south we have cornbread with many meals. Great recipe plus–it’s Vidalia onion season!
This cornbread recipe is so good! The onions make all the difference!
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.
Yum, some good new cornbread recipes…anxious to try the sweet potato one, of course with less sugar,and less butter 🙂 gotta watch the fat intake….you really don’t need all that in it PM;)
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.
