Description
When it comes to deciding what to bring to a cookout, this super easy cast iron cornbread is the clear winner. You don’t even need a cast iron pan! Ribs or brisket are great, though not cheap, while a bag of chips is just weak sauce. On the other hand, this cornbread is very inexpensive to make, but that’ll be the last thing anyone will be thinking about as they eat. In fact, you’ll probably be asked to bring it to the next gathering!
