Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Marie Callendar's Original Corn Bread Muffin Mix
  • 2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
  • 1 Tablespoon La Victoria canned diced jalapeños

Instructions

  • Put paper liners into your muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
  • In a large bowl, mix the Marie Callendar's cornbread mix package with 1 ½ cups of water, stir in the 2 cups of grated cheese and 1 tablespoon of finely canned chopped jalapeño or candied jalapeno. Stir until lumps disappear.
  • It is hard to pour the cornbread batter neatly into a muffin tin from a mixing bowl. So try an ice cream scoop. Simply scoop the batter ⅔ way full into paper lined muffin tins.
  • Bake at 375 for 25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the middle of the cornbread muffin.
  • Serve with butter or honey butter.

Notes

Honey Butter

So yummy, just mix equal portions of soft butter with honey.

Fast Dinner Side

They will go well with just about any dinner and especially delicious with hot bowl of Turkey Chili, Fried Chicken, or BBQ Ribs.

Sweet Honey Butter

 Good cornbread tastes great with regular butter or honey butter.

Easy To Make

 Only 35 minutes to bake, and no electric mixer.

Any Pan Works

 You can bake these in almost any pan like an 8-inch pan, a larger 13-inch brownie pan, a cast-iron skillet, or a glass baking dish. Or make them into muffins.

Marie Callender's Corn Bread Mix

 It's definitely my go-to and comes from the restaurant chain that is famous for its moist cornbread recipe. Keep this stocked in your pantry to bake up a batch in no time at all.
