Cornbread is the perfect side dish to any casserole, soup or salad. This time of the year we are eating a lot of soup because burrrr it’s cold out there!! I love having great side dishes on hand that are easy to have single servings of to accompany my soup for lunch at work or even a fast dinner. I recently got a little creative with a cornbread recipe I have been using for years. I added a little flair to the recipe and it turned out incredible. Seriously, AMAZING!!
6 TBSP butter, room temp 1 1/2 Cup Cornmeal 1 1/2 Cups Flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar – I used a sugar substitute 1 tsp salt 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk 2 Eggs 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 packet ranch dressing mix
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 9×13 baking pan.
2. In medium bowl mix the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt together.
3. In a second mixing bowl cream butter on medium for about 1 minute until butter is fluffy.
4. Add sugar to butter and mix again until completely combined.
5. Next add eggs and buttermilk and mix well.
6. Pour buttermilk and butter mixture into the flour/cornmeal and stir well. Batter will be thick and combined well.
7. Gently fold in the ranch dressing powder and shredded cheese. Don’t over mix
8. Pour batter into greased baking pan.
9. Bake for 35 minutes.
10. Enjoy cornbread warm with your favorite bowl of soup!
My favorite soup to pair this delicious cheesy ranch cornbread with is Progresso® Light Chicken Pot Pie Style. Nothing says comfort food on a cold afternoon like a pot pie but turn it into a wholesome bowl of soup is the perfect twist! It is such a filling and perfect soup to pair with cornbread. Hello comfort food, now bring me that cozy blanket and fluffy socks!
Now, we all love comfort food but let’s be honest, most of those foods are not the best food choices for anyone. Enjoying soups like Progresso® Light Creamy Potato with Bacon & Cheese gives me the option to enjoy a healthy and well-balanced meal.
Having these soups on hand for lunches and dinners is a great way to stay on track with healthy, well balanced meals for the whole family! Even the kiddos love these soups – yay for that! Simply add a side of my newest cornbread and boom – dinner is served! Yummy!
You can pick up any of these delicious soups at Walmart and from January 1st to the 31st, you can save $1.00 on four when you buy four cans of Progresso® Soups in any flavor. Now that is a good deal and it also means a great time for you to stock up on your favorites!
What Progresso® Light soup flavor are you most excited to try this soup season?
I got a lot of the Progresso Light Soup yesterday and I am excited to try the Light Clam Chowder. I think your Cheesey Ranch Cornbread is an awesome recipe, and I am going to make it with soup for dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
We love cornbread too! I love how you kicked it up a notch with the ranch dressing! I am going to have to make this, and I even have the same baking pan so It will be perfect! #client Cathy

I love adding cheddar cheese to biscuits I never thought of using it in cornbread – ohhh wow I must try this asap!
This sounds like amazing side dish to a warm bowl of soup or chili for sure. I love the cheese added to the recipe.

Any recipe that starts with "Cheesy Ranch" piques my interest! Yum! 🙂 This looks like an awesome twist on cornbread!
I love cornbread especially with soups or chili! This recipe sounds absolutely delicious!
This sounds delicious, I do love ranch dressing. The packets can be used for so much more than dressing though. Love the idea.
Cornbread is a family favorite here. I can't wait to try it with cheese and ranch! Thanks!
I love cornbread. I've never made it from scratch, though, usually just from a box. I'm sure including ranch gives it a really great flavor, too.
oh wow I want to try this! I have cornmeal wanting to make a recipe, this sounds great! I've never tried it with cheese and ranch – sounds tasty!
