Who would ever believe that mayonnaise could make CORN BREAD taste so moist & tasty. The basic recipe for this wonderful Corn Bread came from MARTHA WHITE"S SOUTHERN SAMPLER COOKBOOK, AND WAS THE PERFECT Compliment to my HUNGRY MANS HEARTY BEAN SOUP. The rich flavors of the green chili's & roasted red peppers, gave it the elevated flavors it really needed. The bread has the consistency of Corn Souffle, & was so tasty. I am sure it would be a great accompaniment to any soup addition. It makes a large amount so you could serve it at a cold winter's event for a group of friends & family.

    I served mine with HUNGRY MANS BEAN SOUP. Please NOTE I prefer using YELLOW CORN MEAL, but either will work. Also I didn't have Corn Meal Mix, so I created my own with the addition of flour, corn meal baking powder & sugar. Chose not to add salt.
