I’m here to say that I am a bit of a cornbread snob.

Usually it can be salvaged with a slather of butter, and as much as I like butter, I don’t want to HAVE to use it to make food edible. Cornbread can be notoriously dry and crumbly, but today we are solving all the cornbread problems in the world. You’ve been waiting for this moment, haven’t you?
What Is Creamy Cheesy Cornbread?
The beauty of this recipe is how simple it is…and how open it is to adapting and building on. It’s basically a cross between a corn casserole (my favorite Thanksgiving side dish) and cornbread, with extra help from cream cheese, cheddar cheese and LOTS of extra corn!
I’ve partnered with my friends over at Challenge Dairy on this recipe. I’ve worked with Challenge for years and I really love knowing that their cream cheese is farm to fridge in 24 hours, with zero growth hormones. It’s super creamy and you can taste the freshness. Challenge is the only dairy company that controls the entire process, beginning with the milk.
How to Make this Cheesy Cornbread Recipe
The first ingredient for this cornbread is cream cheese. The cream cheese gives the corn bread a very moist base. But why stop there? I added in some cheddar cheese because more is more!
Another fun spin on this is adding in 2 types or corn… kernels AND creamed corn. If corn is fresh and in season, you could even use it fresh off the cob! And for ease of preparation I used a box corn bread mix to speed things along.
Just spread the batter into a 9×13 pan…
And you know I added a little more cheese on top.
When it’s cooled you can cut it into pieces…
And enjoy!
