Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out smoothly and evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy! This makes a perfect side dish for barbecue, fried chicken, or a hearty bowl of chili.
