Categories     Side Dishes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (14.75 ounce) can cream style corn
1 (4 ounce) can green chiles (I used the Old El Paso brand)
1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese*
2 (8.5 ounce) boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1 medium jalapeno (optional - for topping, sliced)**

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F (204 C). Lightly coat a nonstick 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together. Add in the sour cream, cream style corn, diced chiles, and most of the cheddar cheese (save a pinch of the cheese if you want to sprinkle some on top) and mix until combined. Add in the 2 boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and stir until the mix is just wet. Don't over mix it. The batter should look slightly clumpy.
  • Pour the batter into the pan, place the sliced jalapenos on top of the batter and bake for about 40 - 45 minutes. You can test to see if it's done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs, it's done. If it comes out a bit wet, put the cornbread back in the oven for another few minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • To add a little spice, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder or cumin to the batter.
  • For a cheesy cornbread, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
  • For a more moist cornbread, add 1/2 cup of sour cream or buttermilk to the batter.
  • To make cornbread muffins, fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes.
