How to make Jiffy cornbread even better

I grew up with Jiffy cornbread mix. It’s easy and delicious just by following the box directions. As I grew older, I learned that it is also a valuable ingredient, and makes for great dinner recipes like tamale pie and cornbread casserole. Jiffy cornbread is so easily and effortlessly customizable, and isn always a staple of my pantry.

For this recipe, rather than use the typical milk as the package states, I opted to add flavor and moisture with a generous portion of my homemade pimento cheese spread. Add an egg, mix it up and top it with fresh jalapeños, and you’ve got a gourmet cornbread in just about 25 minutes!

A “surprise” drop-in from my sous chef, Frankie

No recipe test is ever complete without a visit from my honorary sous chef (and sometimes, accidental taste tester) Frankie. Here she is dropping in for some cornbread crumbs.
