This cheesy cornbread recipe is a delicious twist from the traditional cornbread. Moist, delicious, and cheesy, this is the BEST cornbread recipe, and then to top it off, whipped honey butter adds even more deliciousness.
Cornbread is another southern staple that many who grew up below the Mason Dixon line are familiar with. As common as biscuits are for breakfast, that’s how often you’ll see cornbread on the table for lunch or dinner. Unlike biscuits, however, that we southerners like to leave pretty well alone, we like to have fun mixing things up with our cornbread. You’ll often see cornbread with cracklings mixed in. For the uninitiated, cracklings are basically, small, extra crunchy pork rinds.
