Fancy Cornbread

Y’all! This is my favorite cornbread. My mama made this for us growing up and it is a little bit sweeter than normal cornbread. Oh, and you gotta put the melted butter on it at the end to get the entire flavor! I like to eat it for breakfast the next morning.

Makes two 9×13″ pans

Ingredients:

4 boxes Jiffy cornmuffin mix

4 eggs

3/4 cup oil (vegetable or light olive oil is what I use)

1/8 cup sugar

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 t. onion powder

1 can creamed corn

Directions: Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and pour into two greased 9×13″ pans. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Brush with melted butter when done.

Note: you can half the recipe to fill one cast iron skillet.

  1. Jill, this sounds so delicious! Growing we had cornbread a lot. My daddy taught me how to make cornbread. I may make this in my cast iron skillets and I agree that cornbread is good for breakfast. I think a cup of hot tea would go great with it!

  2. Oh my lanta! This looks and sounds delicious, Jill! I cannot wait to fix it for my own family. I absolutely absolutely adore sweeter cornbread!

  3. Jill I’ve attempted cornbread a few times and it always came out on the dry side. I will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for this

  4. So I tried this for the first time yesterday and we all Lovvveee it. It’s delish and most and so yummy but question is it meant to be really crumbling, did I do something wrong. Not a big deal I don’t mind licking the crumbs off my fingers

  5. We make cornbread basically like this, but also add a can of drained green chiles, a diced small onion( or diced green onions), and diced jalapeno to taste. The spice and sweetness really make it special. We like this with ham and beans.
