Recipe: Jiffy Cornbread Casserole
Ingredients:
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick and is easy to serve.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, sour cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, ensuring a uniform mixture.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the cornbread mixture into the greased baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges start to crisp up.
- Add Cheese: Remove the casserole from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or just until the cheese is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
- Serve Hot: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. This slight cooling period helps the casserole set, making it easier to cut into servings without falling apart.
