* So it might not actually be classic, but my hubby doesn't really care for cornbread because it's always dry and crumbly. I love it. I thought I'd see what I could do to make it not so dry and crumbly. Adding creamed corn to the mix was the ticket. I'll never make it any different again. Of course I might add some Chile peppers and some scrambled pork sausage to the mix, but never again without the corn. YUM!
