Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread image

This is a great recipe and tastes better, I find, when cooked in a cast iron skillet and served hot tableside. I have also served this recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Whether with jam and butter or fried chicken on the side, there are rarely leftovers!

Categories     Beef

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean beef
2 eggs well beaten
1 c self rising corn meal mix
1 can(s) 14 3/4 oz cream corn
1 c milk
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 c finely shredded cheddar cheese
2-4 jalapeno peppers, washed, seeded and finely chopped
1/2-1 Tbsp peanut oil for skillet
cilantro, fresh for garnish(optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound lean ground beef over medium heat, stirring constantly. Drain, and set aside.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs, using an electric mixer. Stir in 1 cup self-rising cornmeal, a 14 ¾-oz. can of cream-style corn, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  • 3. Place ½ to 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a 10 ½-inch cast iron skillet, and heat until very hot, but not smoking. (If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you may use a 10-inch deep dish pie plate, greased with peanut oil, but do not heat the oil.)
  • 4. Pour half of the cornbread batter into the hot skillet. Top evenly with the browned ground beef, followed by 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 chopped onion, and 2 to 4 chopped jalapeno peppers.
  • 5. Try to get full and even coverage with each layer. Pour as much of the remaining cornbread batter over the top as your skillet will take, leaving at least ½-inch for the cornbread to rise.
  • 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve a wedge on a nice serving plate with some cilantro for garnish, along with a glass of cold milk.

  • Preheat the skillet: Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the cornbread batter. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add toppings: Cornbread is a great dish to experiment with different toppings. Try adding cheese, bacon, jalapeños, or corn kernels.
  • Serve warm: Cornbread is best served warm out of the skillet. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of dishes, such as chili, soup, or stews.
