Moist Cornbread With Cheese image

We are huge fans of cornbread and eat it all the time. We have it for breakfast with spicy scrambled aggs, for lunch with a big bowl of chili or gumbo, and for dinner with shrimp etouffee or fried catfish fresh from our pond. Needless to say, we are also cornbread snobs! This is our favorite and it's a combination of about 10 recipes I've tried over the years. Hope you like it, as well!
