You know I posted a recipe just the other day for some very special cornbread, my Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread. And declared (oh but I do declare a lot of things, just because this is my site, lol) that being a Northerner, I like my cornbread light & fluffy & moist. That being said, I actually grew up in Iowa and grew up on cornbread just like this Southern Skillet Cornbread.

Famous Dave’s Cornbread
If you want an incredible, moist, fluffy cornbread, you’ve got to try Famous Dave Anderson’s recipe for his Famous Dave’s Cornbread. He claims it’s even better than his corn muffins that are served at his Famous Dave’s restaurants. I agree!

Sloppy Joe Casserole
I know I’ve said it before. I don’t really “get” casseroles! Cook a bunch of good food, mix it together and recook it! But even I get how nice it is to pull a pan of hot, bubbly, and cheesy deliciousness out of the oven, plop it on the table and call “Dinner!” And when “Dinner” was this Sloppy Joe Casserole, everyone would come running, especially my son!
