Fall is almost, officially, here. There is a crisp to the air already, and I’m loving it.
Fall is a favorite time of the year for me. I love all the holidays, and the leaves changing color, my birthday is in the Fall, and it also means Christmas is right around the corner.
I am one those people who LOVE Christmas. Enough that all those decorations at Hobby Lobby right now, aren’t bothering me a bit.
Anyway, back to Fall. With the cooler weather comes warm soups. A great way to make a meal out of soup is with some sort of bread on the side. I have already shared a great recipe for more of a sweet cornbread. Today I am sharing a more savory recipe of cornbread. This is what I grew up with.
More than Cornbread is called that because it really is MORE than normal cornbread.
There are green chiles, and grated cheese in here.
There is also a can of creamed corn. You get great moisture and texture from that can.
You can bake this in a pie tin, or just an 8×8 pan.
Don’t forget the honey!
Ingredients
- 1 cube butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1, 4 oz can chopped green chiles
- 1 cup grated jack cheese (pepper jack, colby jack, or monterey jack all work, even a combination with cheddar is fantastic)
- 1, 15 oz can creamed corn
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup yellow corn meal
- 4 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Add remaining ingredients and mix til fully combined.
- Pour into a greased 8×8 pan, or a large pie tin.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes. Until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
- Serve warm with butter and honey.

This sounds delicious!! I love fall food..soups, stews and chili. Cornbread is the perfect pairing! I usually make a sweet cornbread but the addition of green chiles and cheese sounds amazing!! Can’t wait to try it!!
Thanks, Amy. I, too, love sweet cornbread, but I think there is a place for both types. 🙂 I hope you like it!
