Recipe View Let the spoon bread cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot directly from the casserole dish with a spoon. A pat of butter on top is highly recommended!

For an even richer flavor, try using half-and-half or cream in place of some of the milk.
A pinch of sugar can be added to the batter for a touch of sweetness.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cornmeal. Stone-ground cornmeal will give a more rustic texture and flavor.
Spoon bread is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.

    Easy to follow and the results are amazing. I added a little shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.

    I've made spoon bread before, but this is by far the best. My family devoured it!
