From simple stuff comes… Trailer Trash Cornbread. A moist, down-home and wholesome meal, snack, or a fun main dish. Easy to make and kiddies love it.
I serve this up next to pulled pork sandwiches or as the main event alongside mac and cheese.
Can’t think of anything more Americana than beans and weenies…unless it’s a chili corn dog!
Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, it’ll make you want to slap your mama.”
This is really good! Very cheap and easy.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Enjoy!
