What’s the perfect accompaniment to chili? It has to be cornbread. This recipe is just super delicious, and super easy. I make it easy by doctoring up a box of cornbread mix. You can use Jiffy or whatever you have on hand, I happened to have a box of Trader Joe’s cornbread. The addition of just a couple ingredients, completely changes the profile of the cornbread and makes it 1000 times better!
the process
This recipe really is so simple. You have a box of cornbread mix, add in cheddar cheese, greek yogurt, egg, oil, some diced jalapeno and you’re good to go. There’s little fuss, but a great outcome.
There’s really not much more to say or explain. Just make it, trust me.
