Recipe: Pimento Cheese Cornbread Muffins



I love to have bread with soups, stews and chilies.  I think that it makes the meals.  But, cornbread can get kinda boring after a while so I wanted to somehow "jazz" it up one night when we were having Sausage Potato Soup.  I wanted the muffins to be cheesy but different cheesy.  My kids love pimento cheese so I thought it would be a great add in to my packaged corn muffin mix.  It was just the right amount of cheesy with a little extra flavor.  Even better is when you split the muffins and spread some pimento cheese on them.  These are super easy to bake because it is made from a buttermilk/cornbread mix plus a few more ingredients.  I think this would also be good for chili or we love to have a pot of pintos and cornbread.

Enjoy!
