But hold on, there’s a little bit of magic that happens when creamed corn, sour cream, and a few other ingredients are added in.

Recently I’ve been on a soup kick. My slow cooker and dutch oven have been doing double duty making some amazing soups that are great for this time of year. One of my favorite weeknight meals is soup and salad because this combination is so easy satisfying after a long day. The paring of a fresh salad and a warm bowl of soup or chili is perfect but I found there was something missing. Bread. Yep, even those of us watching out for carbs need a little something extra when it comes time to truly enjoy a bowl of cozy soup.
Sour Cream Cornbread is one of those recipes that’s been around for years. I’ve had it at potluck suppers and tailgating parties. Folks absolutely go nuts over it mostly because it’s just so stinking good. It’s rich, dense and has just the right amount of sweetness. To make it my own, I added a touch of heat with some cayenne pepper and I baked it in a square baking pan to make it thicker. The results were incredible! A piece of this cornbread is just the thing to sop up all the wonderful flavors of any dish you are making this fall.
