Corny Cornbread – From a Mix!

I took my all time favorite cornbread mix, Marie Callender’s, and doctored it up by adding golden, sweet whole kernel corn, a little water and baked it for just a quick 20-minutes!  This is the best cornbread EVER!  And duh….easy!

I bake.  From scratch.  All the time.  And I have made cornbread from scratch before too, but I have a deep rooted love for Marie Callender’s cornbread mix.  Plus sometimes all you have time for is a good ol’ recipe made using a mix.

So I made a few changes to the ingredients and directions from the original directions on the back of the Marie Callender’s mix, to come up with this Corny Cornbread!

Easy as 1-2-3 to make this cornbread batter!

    Kelly I love the addition of corn! Cornbread always reminds me of of my mom making ham hocks and beans to go along with the corn bread and we always used Jiffy Mix. I didn’t know Marie Callendar had a cornbread mix, so I’m gonna have to try it now! Yum!

      Hi Kim! Awww I love the memory you have of your mom making cornbread to go along with dinner! I haven’t had Jiffy since I was a kid….good memories 🙂 They sell the Marie Callendar’s mix at grocery stores, Walmart and sometimes in huge bags at Costco here in California! I know they sell them online too (Amazon, Walmart, etc) 🙂 XOXO
