Sweet Corn Spoon Bread
This sweet corn spoon bread is a creamier taken on cornbread, the perfect side to feed a crowd.
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.
How To Eat Spoon Bread
Never tried this Southern specialty? Here are some delicious ways to eat and serve spoon bread:
- 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 holiday 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!
- Serve as a BBQ side. This spoon bread goes great with pulled pork, baked beans, and coleslaw.
- Add some bacon bits to the batter before baking.
- Top with hot sauce.
I like preparing this in a well seasoned cast iron skillet, and letting guests dig right in and take their portion with, you guessed it, a spoon.
