I completely agree with Princess Carolyn below - stuffed cornbread is a perfect meal! You can really vary the flavoring of the meat and other ingredients, but it's such a natural. My family always serves cornbread with chili, but why not put it all together in one fantastic dish? So many variations we can make, I think this will be a regular thing at my house.

I had also never had stuffed cornbread before and I love what the toppings did to the texture of the bread. It was soaked up with all of the delicious meat and onion flavor almost like a casserole. I could eat this all day!
