Sweet Skillet Cornbread

This Sweet Skillet Cornbread is a delicious side dish to any meal!

There is a big debate out there about cornbread.

It’s either a southern style cornbread or a northern style cornbread. The difference between the two is pretty noticeable. The question is, what kind are you looking for?

Southern is very coarse and crumbly, perfect for making into a stuffing. Northern is sweet, more cake-like and a great side for some hot chili.

I prefer the sweet kind… can you blame me? 

Sweet Cornbread is usually made in a casserole dish or cake pan. I love the rustic look of the skillet cornbread, so I made my sweet cornbread in a skillet. But you can easily make your cornbread in a cake pan if you do not own an oven proof skillet.

This cornbread is my hands-down favorite because it’s so simple to make. I took out all the tedious ingredients like baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Instead I just incorporate a box mix, which has all those ingredients in there already, so it’s basically fail-proof.

Another great way to get your daily dose of dairy…

Fun Milk Fact: It takes 10 pounds of milk to make a pound of cheese, 21 pounds of milk to make a pound of butter, and 12 pounds of milk to make a single gallon of ice cream!

This Sweet Skillet Cornbread can be a great addition to your Thanksgiving spread. It pairs perfectly with some thick and hearty chili, and is also great just slathered with some butter and honey.

It will quickly become a family favorite.

It’s sweet, moist, and completely tasty.

So what do you prefer? Southern or Northern style cornbread?
