Cornbread

Note:  Cornbread is a southern staple.  My boys can almost make a meal off a pan of cornbread.   This recipe calls for one cup fresh cut corn which makes it extra delicious.  I am really going to miss the fresh garden vegetables of summer, but I am not going to miss heat.  I am SO ready for it to leave!

Cornbread

1/2 stick butter – melted
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 cup fresh cut corn or 1 cup of canned creamed corn
1 cup self rising corn meal
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 more Tablespoons melted butter
