I’ve share in the past about my love for cornbread. Whether it is the classic skillet cornbread or a main dish cornbread casserole…I love cornbread and decided it was time to share this version.

This cornbread is a bit more substantial than my Classic Skillet Cornbread. It makes a bit more (I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet to bake it in) and it is loaded with shredded cheese, onion, jalapeño pepper, and seasonings.

I can seriously just make a pan of this and eat it for a meal.
