BEER CHEESE CORNBREAD



Beer Cheese Cornbread image

Beer cheese soup is a rich, creamy comfort food favorite of my family in the Midwest. I love when the crispy croutons on top soak up a little flavor from the soup -- and that's what sparked the inspiration for this twist on cornbread! It's slightly sweet like a Northern-style cornbread, balanced with a hint of hops from the IPA and sharpness from the Cheddar.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup fine grind cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cooked corn, roughly chopped (see Cook's Note)
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
Kosher salt
1 cup IPA beer
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter and let cool in a medium heatproof bowl.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, corn, 3/4 cup of the Cheddar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in another medium bowl. Make a well in the center.
  • Add the beer, eggs and vegetable oil to the cooled butter and whisk together. Pour into the well in the dry ingredients. Stir together gently until just combined.

Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Skillet Cornbread image

After some trial and error, this is by far my favorite cornbread recipe. It's spicy, moist, and the cast iron skillet gives it a lovely crispy brown crust, plus bacon! Also I love that it doesn't use buttermilk because I hate buying it just for cornbread. And it's gluten-free.

Cheesy Beef Cornbread: A Harmonious Blend of Savory and Comfort

The delightful fusion of cheesy beef and cornbread is a culinary masterpiece that captivates both the taste buds and the soul. This hearty dish is a perfect embodiment of comfort food, exuding a symphony of flavors and textures that come together in perfect harmony. For those seeking a culinary adventure, this recipe offers a delectable journey, promising a satisfying and unforgettable experience. Savory Beef Filling: - Opt for high-quality ground beef; a leaner option ensures a flavorful filling without excessive grease. - Utilize a combination of spices to infuse the beef with depth and complexity. Ground cumin, chili powder, and paprika are excellent choices for creating a delectable blend. - Do not overcrowd the pan; allow ample space for the beef to brown properly. This ensures evenly cooked and succulent results. Fluffy and Moist Cornbread: - Select a fine-ground cornmeal to achieve a smooth and velvety texture. A coarse-ground variety can result in a gritty consistency. - Use buttermilk for a tangy and tender crumb. If buttermilk is unavailable, substitute regular milk with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar. - Do not overmix the batter; overworking can lead to a dense and compact texture. Maintain a light hand to preserve the airy and fluffy nature of the cornbread. Achieving the Perfect Union: - Preheat the skillet thoroughly before pouring in the cornbread batter. This promotes even cooking and prevents sticking. - Carefully pour the batter over the browned beef, ensuring that it is evenly distributed. - Bake the skillet cornbread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that the dish is fully cooked and ready to be savored. Conclusion: The combination of cheesy beef and cornbread is a match made in culinary heaven. Every bite transports you to a realm of satisfaction, where the richness of the beef, the creaminess of the cheese, and the comforting sweetness of the cornbread harmonize in perfect unison. Whether it's a cozy family dinner or a casual gathering with friends, this dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
