This has become my favorite cornbread recipe, above all others. It is always moist and delicious. You can double this recipe for a standard 9x13 pan of cornbread or it always makes great muffins.

Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you away because it is SO worth it. I like to make it in my Ninja crockpot since I can sauté everything and then turn it on to slow cook all day. This is especially great when I substitute stew meat for ground. The beef just soaks up all the chili flavors! If you like cornbread with your chili, try my Sour Cream Cornbread recipe. Note that the measurements on chili powder and cumin are recommended minimums. Both are necessary for great chili but some prefer more chili powder and others like more cumin, so I recommend starting with the recipe as is and then add more, or less, based on your family's tastes.
