Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 large Egg
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 4 ounces Canned diced green chiles
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (optional, fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, egg, and milk. Stir until just combined, ensuring there are no dry patches, but avoid overmixing.
Fold in the canned diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
