Breakfast 🍳Dessert 🍰Side Dish 🥗Snack 🍿 Southern Recipes 🇺🇸Mexican

Traditional Mexican-Style Cornbread bakes up with a tender, custardy crumb thanks to sweetened condensed milk, whole-kernel corn, and creamy corn. Slightly sweet with rich corn flavor and a buttery finish, it’s perfect alongside chili or barbecue, or served warm as a comforting snack. This spoon-bread-style bake holds together softly while remaining moist and satisfying.
