Vidalia Cornbread

Here's a twist on your usual cornbread. It's great with a big ole bowl of chili or chowder! Yum!!!

1/4 cup butter
1 large vidalia onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Spray 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.

These can also be made into muffins by simply spraying muffin tins with cooking spray and filling using an ice cream scoop. Bake time is 10 minutes using the muffin tins.
