I knew first thing this morning that it was going to be a very busy day for our family. I was prepared and got my slow cooker going with one of our favorite’s – black bean soup. Everyone hit the ground running and I said my prayers, gave hugs, kisses and told ’em I’d see them soon.
Along with the soup, I chopped up some fresh fruit and made a piping hot cast iron skillet of cheese & green chili cornbread. It’s great food for a busy family!

I love cheese and chile cornbread. It's perfect with soup and chili. As a matter of fact I'm making another batch tomorrow, I'm going to try it with a can of creamed corn AND some hot sauce. I've never put hot sauce in corn bread and love your idea. Really nice photos.
Hope it turns out well Lea Ann. I love the hot sauce because it gives some heat without the texture of the chile.

Just discovered your site and have been impressed with your recipes. However, I do forgive you for adding sugar to this cornbread recipe. At least you don’t add flour! : D
