excellent, cooked in cast iron skillet and served with Nanny's tomato soup #11121. very moist. Didn't have green onions so I used the regular white onion, but the green would have made it better looking.

EASY AND YUMMY! I was going to post my mom's classic Mexican Cornbread recipe, but there are already so many of them and this is so close to hers(no milk, 1 medium onion chopped vs green onion) that I decided to just go ahed and rate this one. Mom made this for many years and took it to many church pot lucks before the days when Mexican food was so widespread and our town didn't even have a Taco Bell much less a Mexican restaurant and we had yet to discover joys fajitas, margaritas, burritos, nachos or green chile sauce! Try this cornbread Chili Sundae-style in a bowl with chili over the top!

This is one of those recipes that you will memorize. It was the exact amount for my cast iron skillet and is very tweak friendly. You will make this, tweak it to your taste and look no further.

I was reading all reviews before I chose this one. It was delicious! My family finished this the same night. They asked me to make again the next night. I did and added 1 tsp of sugar and it was the bomb!

Holy wow! I have hot pay dirt with this recipe. I subbed masa harina for the regular cornmeal and didn't add the cheddar or green onions, which were not missed at all. Such an incredible recipe!! It almost tastes like a creamy tamale!!
