  1. strut your stuff REVIEW:

    As far as cornbread goes, this was ok, just basic. But you really have to add the creamed corn to make it better.

  2. Thom42

    Does the Chi chi's prep cook know the recipe for the El grande Burro and sauce?

  3. BuddyCoty

    Yummy! This is the best corn bread recipe I have had yet....moist, tasty, and just plain good!

  4. prep cook

    I was a prep cook for 5 years at Chi Chi's. Never used an egg making sweet corn cake. Also, used big cans of cream corn. Couldn't tell you the ratio of corn meal and stuff because it was all prepackaged. Just dumped in the package, cream corn, margarine, water, and sugar.

  5. Beverly861 REVIEW:

    After preparing this recipe, I too, will add corn to the it. I was looking for Don Pablo's Sweet Corn Cake recipe. This is good.

  6. gala62 REVIEW:

    I'm not sure why this rates a "3" difficulty rating. It's a simple cornbread recipe with the addition of sour cream. Pretty good, moist and slightly tangy because of the sour cream but I was hoping for something with a more intense corn flavor, like the Don Pablos corn cake. Maybe next time I'll add some frozen corn to the batter.

    • A Difficulty rating of "3" means it can be prepared by any average cook without special equipment or ingredients. It would be a "2" if it required less measuring of ingredients (or a "1" if it didn't require an oven)]
