    Superbowl, the ultimate sports championship and a great excuse for a get together!  During the last Superbowl, my parents had my family over for chili and cornbread! She made this cornbread in her cast iron skillet and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Dipping it into chili really enhanced the flavor of not only the chili, but this Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread as well.  In fact, that’s the only way I’ll eat chili and cornbread going forward!

    Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread is quick, easy, and such a classic flavor that will really complement any meal!

    If you scroll through the cornbread recipes on my blog, you’ll notice I LOVE my sweet cornbread. All the recipes I have shared over the years are great, but being sweet, sometimes you just need a classic non sweetened version, right?!

    Everyone has their preference on whether they prefer sweet or unsweetened. I typically lean towards sweet, but I will say, this was quite tasty and really allowed the corn flavor to shine through versus the sugar taking over, haha!

    This cornbread was so simple to prepare, and I’m talking only 5 minutes or so!  Additionally, cooking it in the cast iron skillet enhanced the buttery crust and gave it a slight crunch. The inside of the cornbread was light and fluffy, just how we prefer it!

    If you’re looking for a new side dish to try, or something that pairs well with your chili dinner….I highly recommend trying this! Cast iron cooking at its finest!
