To Die For Cornbread

Summer is great for barbeques.  Here's a terrific side dish that goes with meat, poultry, fish, portabello mushrooms, tofu, and just about anything.  Note:  this stuff is loaded with calories.  But hey, once in a while, why not?  Your family and friends will beg you for the recipe.
 
1 box cornbread mix topping:
1 cup fresh or thawed corn
1 cup sour cream mixed with 1 cup mayonaise (I substitute non-fat sour cream)
1 chopped onion, sauteed in 2 Tbsp butter until soft and golden
6 drops hot sauce, any brand

Spread in 9 x 12 greased pan:  1 box cornbread mix, mixed and ready to bake (or if you're a purist like I am, make one recipe from scratch).

Set aside to mix the topping.

Mix the topping ingredients and spread over unbaked cornbread.  Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar (I like sharp, white cheddar).

Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Also great reheated the new day.

Oinkingly yours...
