I have fond memories of eating cornbread as a child, mostly with chilli but it really does go with any soup or stew. I even like it on it’s own with coffee for an afternoon snack, especially when made into mini muffins. If you are making your cornbread into mini muffins, they are also great for picnics, for kids too. 

When pairing it with chilli, why not try crumbling it on top? That’s my favorite way to eat my chilli and cornbread. Or better yet, pour your chilli on top of a square of cornbread. Either way, the two flavors together, perfectly compliment each other. Try it and let me know what you think!

  1. This looks amazing! My husband is from the south and as such a corn bread and biscuit nut! This looks like a great recipe for our family…I especially like the addition of the sweet corn. A nice way to sneak in some veggies for picky kiddos like my son…I can’t wait to try it out!

    • Thanks Fiona. They really do go together so lovely. Especially on a cool day. Great thing is you can make them ahead of time seal them in air tight container. Make your chilli in the slow cooker and go be busy for the day and it’s there waiting for you when you he home.
