What Can I Add to Cornbread to Make it Taste Better?
You can add a lot of ingredients to your cornbread recipe:
- Add chopped jalapenos and sauteed onions into the batter for a spicy version.
- Top your cornbread with shredded cheese for a cheesy top.
- Mix crumbled bacon into the batter and sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a sweet and savory treat.

What Kind of Cornmeal Is Best for Cornbread?
Fine yellow cornmeal bakes up with the classic Southern texture most people expect, but medium-ground, or even coarse-ground, works if that’s what’s in your pantry. White cornmeal is also perfectly acceptable. Bottom line: use the freshest cornmeal you have, and this easy cornbread will turn out great every time.
