Skillet Fiesta Cornbread

A good, traditional cornbread is a delicious side dish to so many things: BBQ, chili, bean soup, ham, pot pie... I could go on. This recipe came to us with the help of our friends at US Foods. They have been putting out some labor saving products for a long time now, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on some of their latest Scoop items. We decided to combine them to take classic corn bread to the next level.

Jackie is more of a traditional cornbread eater; she enjoys a slice of cornbread or a cornbread muffin served with some all-natural butter and possibly honey. When we were given some samples of Roasted Corn and Poblano Pepper Mix and a pre-cooked Fire Roasted Steak, we decided to incorporate them into a satisfying Skillet Fiesta Cornbread meal.

Instead of serving cornbread with steak and corn, why not mix some of the ingredients right in, then top it off with even more goodness? This Skillet Fiesta Cornbread can still be served with a bowl of Southwestern Turkey Chili or served with a Crunchy Asian Salad. My favorite way to eat this is to break it apart with a fork in the bowl, drizzle a little BBQ sauce on top, and finish with a drizzle of hot honey. Start with our basic recipe and let your imagination take you where it wants to go. Bottom line, cornbread is not just a side dish any longer.
