We never knew how versatile or how many variations of cornbread recipes there are until we started receiving entries for the Cornbread Cook-off.

When it comes to southern cooking, cornbread is one of our favorite comfort foods that serves well with most dishes – just don’t forget the butter.

From the entries we received in the Cornbread Cook-off, we used the old-fashioned method to select a winner and randomly drew five names from the pot. We hope you enjoying making these winning recipes.
