This Loaded Cornbread is next level delicious!! Cornbread loaded with cheddar, bacon, creamed corn, and green chiles. OMG! YUM! I could have made a meal out of this yummy cornbread.
Now, there are two camps of cornbread – sugar and no sugar. We are firmly in the no-sugar cornbread camp. I’ve eaten sweet cornbread and it is fine. It’s just not what I make at home. I’m usually serving the cornbread as a savory side dish, and I prefer it not to be sweet.
I like to use White Lily Self-Rising Buttermilk White Cornbread Mix in my cornbread. I linked to it in the recipe below. I find it at Publix, Target and Walmart. If you can’t find White Lily, any self-rising cornmeal/cornbread mix will work just fine. White or yellow – either is also fine. It is just personal preference.

Can I leave out the cheese
sure
Do you think I could add in jalepenos? I want it a bit hotter.
Absolutely! Sounds great
what it I don't have a cast iron skillet?
It fine what even you have. Just make sure container big enough to hold all the cornmeal mix. Grease it also before pouring mix in.
Is the cornbread on the dry side? Is it moist?
I didn't think it was dry
Just add sugar to to your taste.
Since we are in the "sweet" corn bread camp :), how do I need to tweak this recipe?
You will just have to play around with the recipe.
Can you leave out the corn or use something different I donāt do well with corn
