About

I started making a version of this cornbread for a Southern-style dressing, but it’s too tasty to save for holiday meals. The recipe morphed into a skillet bread that is hearty enough to eat as an entrée, especially if served with a simple salad. Leftovers are yummy, and I try to save some for a quick portable breakfast.
