Name: Ham and Cheese Cornbread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 12-15 servings.
Cuisine: North America, Cajun
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, melted, divided; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 2 cups half-and-half cream; 4 slices American cheese, cut into pieces; 1 large egg, beaten; 1 cup heavy whipping cream; 1 cup sour cream; 2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) corn bread/muffin mix; 6 ounces diced breakfast ham or 1-1/2 cups diced ham

I get this recipe years ago from my college roommate's mother. I've tried a lot of other corn bread recipes since, but none compares to this one—with the ham baked in, it's much more like a complete meal than simply a bread. I'm a home economics teacher, and I'm active in Future Homemakers of America, too. Besides cooking, I enjoy reading and cross-stitch.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
4 slices American cheese, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup sour cream
2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) corn bread/muffin mix
6 ounces diced breakfast ham or 1-1/2 cups diced ham

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the flour, half-and-half cream and 1/2 cup butter until smooth; cook and stir until slightly thickened. Stir in cheese. Cool.
Add the egg, whipping cream and sour cream until blended. Add remaining butter; fold into corn muffin mixes and ham. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until set. (Do not overbake.)
