Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 8.5 oz boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 2 4 oz cans diced green chilies
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. While oven is preheating, place a 12 inch cast iron skillet in the oven to get hot. (You can use a 9x13 baking dish if you prefer.)
  • In a medium to large mixing bowl, add the Jiffy, eggs, sour cream and milk, mixing until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Next stir in the cheese, corn, green chilies, green onions, and honey, until combined. Batter will be a little lumpy, but do not over mix!
  • Remove skillet or baking dish from the oven, add 1 tablespoon butter, move butter around to melt and cover the bottom and sides of the skillet. 
  • Add the cornbread batter to the hot skillet and place in oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown at the edges and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (If your cornbread is browning too quickly, you can cover the top with foil to stop it from browning more.)
  • Remove cornbread from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter on top before serving, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover cornbread at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
