Southern Cheddar Corn Muffins-7199

Even though the temps are pretty warm here, I’m in full-on soup mode. I’ve just been in the mood for a bowl of soup for lunch or a quick dinner. Soup makes my life for many reasons… it’s easy to pack ’em with veggies. creates lots of leftovers that I can freeze for another week. one pot clean up. a full meal in a bowl. comfort food or light and refreshing.

Every good soup needs a corn muffin or one of Jackie’s popovers. I’m a fan of center-cut bacon, remember my Bacon Quinoa Chili? And because cheese makes everything yummier, I combined the two into this corn muffin… it’s a southern thing, y’all. {said in my finest fake Southern accent}.

One of Eric’s favorite foods is cornbread, in fact he complains a lot that I never make it for him so he orders it any chance he gets at a restaurant, and then will ask me “why don’t you ever make these for me?” with the sweetest pouty face.

I’m not usually into cornbread because it’s often too dry and crumbly. Hence the bacon and cheddar to prevent boring cornbread and crumbliness.

So get excited honey, I made you a batch of corn muffins… southern style.

    I think corn bread can be kind of dry too, but it looks like you’ve cracked the code on making it just about perfect. I look forward to making this the next time I make my famous steak tip chili. It just cries out for cornbread.
