Corn Spoon Bread Recipe

 

NEW MEXICAN SPOON BREAD

New Mexican Spoon Bread is one of the most deliciously moist cornbreads you'll ever have. It's made with Hatch Green Chile (which is a staple in New Mexican homes) and cheddar cheese. And we call it "spoon bread" because it's so moist, you'll literally want to eat it with a spoon! This is one of my absolute favorite family recipes and it's easy to make, too. Read on for the recipe.
