Steps
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Stir together cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs with milk and melted butter, then fold into the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour into a greased 8-inch skillet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden.
- While cornbread bakes, heat the cheddar soup in a pot with 1 cup milk over medium heat, stirring often.
- Drain and warm the frozen corn and canned green beans in a small saucepan.
- Ladle soup into bowls and serve alongside cornbread with the vegetables on the side.
