There’s nothing like a cold winter’s night by a fire with a big bowl of hearty chili. Unless of course you add a big side of Cheesy Cornbread to the mixture. Then, you’re on your way to a good time. I’ve tweaked and played with this recipe for a while now, and I feel like she’s finally ready for her Biggo Blog Debut!

And finally, for the glorious ending to this Cornbread Saga, add in a cup of your favorite shredded cheese. We love the Mexican type blend with Monterey Jack, cheddar, asadero, and queso quesadilla cheeses. Mild or sharp cheddar would both work great, too.

Pour everything into a greased baking dish. I use this little ole 8″x8″ pan.
