1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

   In a mixing bowl, combine your cornbread mix, milk, and egg, then stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended—this is the base of your dish, so make it nice and creamy! Next, grab a large oven-proof skillet and heat it over medium heat.

   Stir everything together and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it’s heated through and fragrant.

   Place the skillet in your preheated oven and bake for around 40 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown.

   As the aroma fills your kitchen, sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top and pop it back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
