In less than an hour you can make this amazing Cornbread Casserole. Easy to prepare and guaranteed to be a hit, this deliciously tender and sweet casserole is perfect for a side dish at home or as a potluck contribution!
When I make Cornbread Casserole, the kids actually say ‘Yay!”. That hardly ever happens. I mean, there are plenty of times that they are happy about something I am making, but this reaction is more than happiness, it is exuberance. They LOVE this dish!
Bonus: Cornbread Casserole is super-easy to make! It is a great side dish to serve at your next cookout. Take it to a summer potluck and it will be a guaranteed hit. Or heck, it would even be good for a fall, winter, or spring potluck. Deliciousness knows no seasonal boundaries.
This is perfect to serve alongside my very favorite homemade burger recipe, Thai Turkey Burgers. The flavor of red curry, the savory peanut butter, the tang of lime, and the sweetness of honey all converge to make this backyard burger a decadent and luxurious experience. Who knew burgers could be so yummy?
As far as this casserole goes, I would eat this every day of the week but I think that would start to be a problem for my blog. I wouldn’t have many readers if I just continuously posted this one recipe, haha!
And now, I am super-excited to announce Thing 2’s rating for this dish….drum roll please….
5 out of 5 biscuits! Perfect score! I think he only gave me a 5 once before, for my Tropical Pancakes. To receive a 5 out of 5 from Thing 2 is indeed a rare occurrence!
