My Pantry Shelf

Cornbread may be the ultimate quick bread.  In under 45 minutes, basic pantry staples- flour, cornmeal, milk, and eggs- turn into hot, tender, crumbly goodness.  Cornbread is a natural accompaniment to chili, but is also great with any other bean based soup or grilled meats.

This recipe is one of my favorites, I have made it many times.  The onion and cheese add deep flavors to the bread.  This combination not only tastes great, but the additional moisture also increases its shelf life.  While most cornbread is best eaten right out of the oven, these muffins will stay moist through the day.  For added color, try green onions in place of the white onions.
