This cranberry fire roasted cornbread recipe played a starring role in my Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I can’t wait to bring it back for Christmas dinner as well. It’s a definite keeper, and it’s perfect for a holiday meal… especially since it’s easy to make.
The secret is to start with a package of the newest Krusteaz cornbread mix, but I put a twist on the ingredients to give it some extra holiday flair. If you’re entertaining this year, it’s bound to be a favorite!
The sweetness and tang of cranberries adds a pop of flavor and color to the cornbread.
I also added creamed corn to give the cornbread a nice moist texture.
I love working with Krusteaz and experimenting with all the new and classic mixes they create. It doesn’t feel like work at all; it feels like play!
Sprinkle the cheese topping on after baking, slice and serve!
It’s absolutely delicious! And if you have any leftovers, I find they freeze and reheat in the microwave really well.
