I was going through the Kitchen Goddess group when I came across this post from TeamSugar member MotoLinz. In it she shares a family recipe for a Broccoli Cornbread. She suggests accompanying it with everything from tamales to chili, but admits that some folks think of it as a meal in itself. If you're curious about the recipe, just read more.

Broccoli Cornbread
Recipe submitted by TeamSugar member MotoLinz

My SILNIL has made this a few times, and I finally remembered to copy the recipe this afternoon. It is delicious and almost cake-like. I could eat half the pan, and a few others agreed it could be a meal in itself. Plus, it's really easy to make.

2 sticks of butter, melted
2 10 oz. packages frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and drained
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1 small white onion, chopped
2 boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin mix
2 teaspoons salt

- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, adding the broccoli last.
- Pour into greased baking dish (my SILNIL uses about a 7 x 11).
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
- During last few minutes, sprinkle top with a little extra shredded cheddar.

Yummy.
