Jiffy Cornbread Recipes 

Cornbread is a staple comfort food, and when you have a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix in your pantry, whipping up a batch becomes even easier. This classic mix delivers a soft, slightly sweet, and crumbly cornbread that pairs beautifully with soups, chili, barbecue, or even just a simple spread of butter.  


But why stop at the basics? With a few simple ingredients, you can transform Jiffy cornbread into something even more special. Below, we’ll explore three variations of Jiffy cornbread: a **classic Jiffy cornbread**, a **cheesy jalapeño Jiffy cornbread**, and a **Jiffy cornbread casserole** that’s perfect for gatherings.

## **1. Classic Jiffy Cornbread**  


This is the simplest and most traditional way to make Jiffy cornbread, resulting in a golden-brown, slightly sweet, and moist cornbread that works as a side for almost any meal.  


### **Ingredients:**  

- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix  

- 1 egg  

- 1/3 cup milk  

- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for extra moisture)  


### **Instructions:**  


1. **Preheat the oven** to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.  

2. **Mix the ingredients** in a medium bowl. Combine the Jiffy mix, egg, and milk. If you want a richer flavor, add melted butter. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.  

3. **Pour the batter** into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.  

4. **Bake** for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  

5. **Cool slightly** before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.  


### **Tips:**  

- Add a tablespoon of sugar for a sweeter cornbread.  

- Substitute buttermilk for regular milk for a tangier flavor and softer texture.  

- For extra richness, mix in ¼ cup of sour cream.  


This classic recipe is great as is, but if you're feeling adventurous, try adding your favorite mix-ins like corn kernels, cheese, or spices.

## **2. Cheesy Jalapeño Jiffy Cornbread**  


If you love a little heat and extra cheesy goodness, this variation is for you. The combination of spicy jalapeños and gooey cheese makes this cornbread irresistible.  


### **Ingredients:**  

- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix  

- 1 egg  

- 1/3 cup milk  

- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese  

- 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)  

- 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional, for extra moisture)  


### **Instructions:**  


1. **Preheat your oven** to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or a muffin tin for individual portions.  

2. **Prepare the batter** by combining Jiffy mix, egg, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir until just blended.  

3. **Add the mix-ins**—fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeño, and sour cream if using. Stir gently to distribute evenly.  

4. **Pour into the pan** and spread the batter evenly.  

5. **Bake for 15-20 minutes**, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  

6. **Let cool for a few minutes** before slicing. Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for a sweet contrast.  


### **Tips:**  

- For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.  

- Use pepper jack cheese for a spicier, more flavorful twist.  

- If you prefer a slightly crunchy top, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top before baking.  


This cheesy, spicy version of cornbread is perfect alongside chili, barbecue, or as a bold side dish for a Tex-Mex meal.

## **3. Jiffy Cornbread Casserole**  


For a soft, moist, and ultra-comforting dish, try this Jiffy cornbread casserole. Also known as corn pudding, this dish is creamy, slightly sweet, and makes an excellent side for holiday dinners or family gatherings.  


### **Ingredients:**

- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained  

- 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn  

- ½ teaspoon salt  

- ½ teaspoon black pepper  

- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)  


### **Instructions:**  


1. **Preheat the oven** to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.  

2. **Mix the ingredients** in a large bowl. Stir together the Jiffy mix, egg, sour cream, melted butter, whole corn, creamed corn, salt, and pepper. If using cheese, mix in half and reserve the rest for topping.  

3. **Pour the mixture** into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.  

4. **Bake for 35-40 minutes,** or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.  

5. **Cool for 5 minutes** before serving. Garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired.  


### **Tips:**  

- For a slightly sweeter casserole, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey.  

- To make it heartier, mix in cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham.  

- If you want a more custard-like texture, add an extra egg.  


This cornbread casserole is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for Thanksgiving, potlucks, or as a side for roasted meats.
