Late last week, before the craziness of Halloween set in, we had a chili potluck in our building at work. When I first heard about it I was super excited, since I have quite a few chili recipes up my sleeve. But when I went to sign up to bring something, there were already at least a dozen chili’s on the list. So instead, I decided to bake some cornbread!

I’m new to baking cornbread from scratch, but after my Pumpkin Cornbread was such a success, I decided to give it another go. This cornbread is full of tons of fun, different flavors. It’s perfect for pairing with chili or any hot soup.

The chili lunch was a success! There were a TON of different chili’s, along with cornbread, corn chips, cheese, and desserts. I’ve actually never seen so many crockpots in one place! The cornbread was also a success. Moist and cheesy with just a touch of spice. Everyone loved it. Yum!
