Easy Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread

Learn how to make Easy Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread! This recipe is a tasty alternative to just regular cornbread.

Cornbread is one of my favorite sides. Over the winter break, I made cornbread weekly to go with a big pot of chili.

I definitely prefer moist cornbread these days since learning the tip of adding either sour cream or cottage cheese to the mix! My Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread includes sour cream. Without it, the cornbread turns out too dry.

You can also get creative with adding ingredients to cornbread. For example, we added bacon to this cornbread recipe.

Today, I’m sharing a way to include fresh broccoli in your cornbread mix! Adding vegetables to recipes is a popular way to get your family and kids to get their veggies in!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
