Here's a new cornbread recipe to add to your collection. Creamed Corn Cornbread calls for a can of creamed corn, sour cream eggs, cornmeal and a few other things you'd expect in a typical cornbread recipe. Like most cornbread recipes, it's very easy. So easy you could probably make it with one hand, which I literally did because I injured my arm. This recipe gave me a sense of accomplishment after not being able to do anything for a couple of days.
I've made this cornbread several times through the years and consider it fun. it calls for quite a few ingredients, but they are all basic and you just dump them in. The creamed corn amuses me for some reason, which is maybe that as a child, I found it revolting. I'm not sure I would eat it straight out of the can these days, but I'll bet the homemade kind is good. But canned is what this recipe uses, and it adds some personality to cornbread. Not only is the bread very moist, it has little chunks of corn in it!
Pan Size
You can make the cornbread in a cast iron skillet (you'll need two functioning arms for this) or an 8-inch square pan or baking dish. This should feed 6 to 8. It also doubles well, so if you are feeding a crowd just double everything and bake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. You can serve it all at once or save some and toast it later. It is very good reheated

I love cornbread and creamed corn! I'm making this soon. You mentioned homemade creamed corn. I made it once for Thanksgiving but people didn't eat it. I would bet anything I'd I had just dumped a couple of cans of creamed corn in a bowl, it would have been the first to go!

Thank you! I needed a different corn bread recipe!! Yesterday I made my usual "corny cornbread" which uses the Jif brand corn bread mix. But we discovered Jif has LOTS of sugar in it and my vegetarian neighbor wouldn't eat it because Jif has lard in it. The recipe I usually use is for an 9x13 pan and calls for a can of corn and a can of creamed corn, so I will try that when I double your recipe.
