OMG!! I could not believe how good this was!!!!!! I served it with jambalaya and I could not have asked for a better meal, this morning I ate a slice for breakfast and it tastes as good left over as it does fresh. When I took it out of the pan last night it got all crumbly, but I do believe that is because it was hot, this morning I did not have that problem. Next time I would like to try it without all the stuffing, I think it would make a wonderful tasting plain cornbread. Thanks for sharing Kari!!!

I have been making this for years. This is one of Emeril's better recipes. I've yet to find a guest or family member that didn't rave about it. It takes a bit of time to prepare but it's worth it. I usually add a little more Jalapenos, bacon and extra cheese if I'm making it for myself--since I'm somewhat of a chili-head. I'll post a photo of this the next time I cook up a pan of it.

This is the most sinfully delicious cornbread I have ever had the tedeous pleasure to make. I've lived in Texas for a breaf period of time and was introduced to cornbread and fell in love but everytime I tried to make it myself it turned out awful. NOT THIS TIME!!! My husband ate 4 pieces at dinner and said I HAVE TO make this with my chili.Thank you.
