    What to Serve with Cornbread

    For the best sides, salads, soups, & main dishes to serve with cornbread, try these yummy recipes. All of them go well with whatever form of cornbread you are making. So if you love a classic southern recipe or something else like hushpuppies, cornpone, corn cakes, griddle cakes, batter bread, or corn pudding, all of these recipes are what to serve with your favorite cornbread

    If you love cornbread and miss it due to a low-carb, diabetic, or keto diet, fret no more. My Keto Cornbread Chaffles has all the flavors of cornbread. They are easy to make and only net carbs each. Plus the addicting crunchy outside and soft inside are a bit addicting. For a sweet corn pudding recipe that is an ultra-moist cornbread try my Green Chile Sweet Corn Casserole.
