Maryann’s Sweet Cornbread – An Old Fashioned Cornbread Recipe

Maryann’s Sweet Cornbread is quick to put together using baking mix, cornmeal and creamed corn. It’s a perfect side dish with your favorite chili or soup.

Moist Cornbread Recipe with Creamed Corn:

Looking for a go-to homemade cornbread recipe?  Maryann’s Sweet Cornbread is soon to become your new favorite and works as the perfect side dish. The sweet and buttery flavor is so tasty that you don’t really even need to add butter, but go head and do it anyways. We won’t tell!

How do you like your cornbread? We like ours with a sweet flavor and moist texture. And our recipe is just that. This version uses cream style sweet corn, melted butter and buttermilk to give it the moist texture, and sugar for a sweet flavor. The cornbread base comes from Bisquick and cornmeal.

Barbara’s good friend Maryann shared her cornbread recipe with her several years ago.  Maryann’s recipes are spot-on. She is responsible for sharing some of These Old Cookbooks most popular recipes such as Make Ahead Ham and Cheese Quiche and Tuscan White Bean and Sausage Soup.

We love how moist this Bisquick cornbread is which comes from creamed corn.  It melts in your mouth!

What types of foods do you serve with cornbread?  While many people serve soup (and chili) with crackers, we prefer ours alongside of cornbread. We even crumble cornbread into our soup.  This version goes great with Crock Pot Chicken Chili, Instant Pot Ham and Beans, Pressure Cooker Potato Soup, and Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder.

Notes about Cornbread with Bisquick and Creamed Corn:

• This Bisquick cornbread recipe calls for buttermilk and we never seem to have it on hand. Instead, we use regular milk topped off with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar.  It works the same!
• This recipe only uses about half of a normal size can of creamed corn.  You can put the rest in the refrigerator for later in the week. Or I have been known to freeze it and then pull it out a few hours before making this recipe again.
• If you like a little kick to your cornbread, you can add 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
• Depending on your oven, the top of the cornbread can get a bit brown.  This is no big deal, but if you don’t like the appearance of brown spots, you can cover loosely with a sheet of foil half way through.
