El Sombrero Corn Bread

I made this recipe for El Sombrero Cornbread from Taste of Home for a barbeque we hosted, and it was terrible. It comes out swimming in grease, is very coarse and dry, and the flavor is awful. I should know better than to try a new recipe for an event, but sometimes an event gives me the excuse I need to finally try a recipe.

I'll just stick with my tried and true Mix and Match Cornbread recipe from Midwest Living.
