cornbread question

[lane]

when you bake cornbread..do you refrigerate the leftovers or leave it on the counter sealed for a day or 2 till all gone?

i usually leave it out and have had no problems yet.

thoughts?

i'm making this killer chili right now..

chili meat
pork and venison sausage
pinto beans
diced onions
diced jalapenos
shredded cheese

served over rice

should be a dandy..

Usually refrigerate. For no apparent reason.

 

[Staggerlee]

I always leave mine out. Never even heard of anybody refrigerating it before.

And lots of crushed fresh garlic to cook the meat in. Add some more during the closing minutes of cooking for a strong garlic taste.

If you're going to add beans, better add some epazote during the last 10 minutes of cooking - it's a Mexican herb that takes all the gas out of beans for the first couple of days anyway.

My in-laws, the chili purists, would roast you for the beans, cheese and rice. They think chili should be nothing but meat, chili powder and spices but I like to jazz my chili up a little bit like you do with beans, chopped onions and fresh garlic and I even add very finely chopped celery and cumino and turmeric. I also prefer Jalapenos over serranos or cayennes.

We make lots of chili and freeze meal size portions for quick meals as needed.

On the cornbread, we leave it out at room temp for a couple of days. We usually make two batches at one time and cut up and freeze at least one batch.

When my wife doesn't feel like cooking she can always whip up a pretty good meal quickly from the freezer. We gave away our microwave oven long ago as we don't think they cook food nutritiously or safely.

Life is simple out here on the ranch and we like it that way.

ty for your response.

a microwave is essential for warming leftovers though...

When I've had it in the past, I would put the leftover in the fridge. No reason other than I put pretty much anything edible in the fridge.

Pi are round....cornbread are square.

me too...

i was wondering because a cake is much like cornbread as far as ingredients go and we never refrigerate it.

I seal it and leave it out. It tastes funny cold.

 

[roughneck266]

Always seemed dryer to me when we put it in the fridge. We seal it either in a container or baggy and leave it out. Between the millk and cornbread and then of course leftovers it doesnt last long enough to go bad anyway.

 

[Sarge]

Don't know. Never had any left..

:signmast: - but if I did I would leave it out as Laney suggested.

Washer down with a nice cold PBR.

When I think "cornbread" I think of the scene in the "Green Mile" with Wild Bill going apeshot because he didn't get any of the cornbread. LOL!

On another note, sweet or savory cornbread? Granny always made ours slightly sweet so that's what I enjoy.
