I do like a moist (as opposed to crumbly) tasty cornbread and this was it. I used skim milk and apple sauce instead of oil plus almost double the cream corn and it was a WOW. Really really good. Thanks NurseDi.

I made the corn bread in my cast iron skillet and it came out perfect. Very moist and delicious. Definitely a keeper. I used chopped green peppers but the next time I will use a can of green chilis instead as a matter of taste. I may also slightly increase the cheese. Thanks for sharing a great easy recipe.

Very moist which is how we like our cornbread. I liked the mild flavor or the green chiles. Not very hot so my kids could eat this. Could easily be turned up a notch or two with some japalenos. Thanks Nurse Di.
