I’m a Midwestern girl, and corn recipes are near and dear to my heart.

This sweet corn spoon bread is hands down one of the best corn-based recipes I’ve had. (This Chilean corn casserole is right up there too!)

This spoon bread is similar to cornbread – except richer and more dense. The perfect match for a spoon.

Serving Suggestions

• This corn dish is a great side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. You can omit the garlic and jalapeno if you’re planning on serving this for Thanksgiving (or similar) meal.
• This spoon bread also great as a side to a bowl of chili or soup. Treat it like cornbread, but serve it with a spoon!
• Add some bacon bits to the batter before baking.
• Top with hot sauce.
