Though we normally bake these in conventional ovens, this cornbread is also one of our go-to cast iron skillet campfire recipes.

We make a lot of cornbreads to go with soups and chilis. 

Goes well with

Cincinnati chili! The secret to our chili is using Seven Hills Original Cincinnati style chili seasoning. Make some of this cornbread and some of that chili and you won't want anything more from the combo.
