Saturday Night Steak Dinner
I love my Weber Kettle!
It’s well over 100 degrees today so we didn’t want to heat up the house with stove and oven so the whole dinner got cooked on the Weber.
Cornbread Revisited
I just finished the last of the New Year’s Day Cornbread. And I got to thinking about just how good it was.
One of my favorite restaurants is Bandera in Sacramento. They make the most amazing cornbread. It isn’t often that I’ll go to a restaurant because of a side dish, but in the case of Bandera’s cornbread I am willing to make an exception.
I’ve been searching for a cornbread recipe that is close to Bandera’s for quite some time. I’ve tried many “scratch” recipes that just don’t cut it. I was amazed when I came across a recipe on the BBQ Brethren’s website that came closer than most. And it uses plain old, ordinary Jiffy corn muffin mix.
All I had to do was mix two boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix with a large can of creamed corn. Toss in a little sugar, a can of diced chilies and mix it all up.
Heat a cast iron skillet in the oven until hot. Add a couple tablespoons of butter and heat it until it just starts to smoke. Dump in the cornbread mix and bake it until a knife, inserted in the middle, comes out clean.
It doesn’t get much easier than that. Does it?
