In no way am I a food blogger, but I do love to cook and bake, so I thought I would share one of my favorite “hacks” or almost homemade dishes. Last night my Mom and I were together for Sunday dinner and decided to throw some chili in the crockpot. Naturally cornbread is the first thing that came to mind to go with chili.
I used to live in the South where cornbread is quite different. Cornbread in the South usually isn’t as sweet and will on occasion have kernels of corn in it. Now I’m from the North I like my cornbread sweet but I love the thought of adding kernels to it.
So I picked up two packages of the Jiffy Cornbread mix. Followed the instructions on the back but then fried up 6 strips of bacon, crumbled them into the mix with a 1/4 cup of scallions, a can of corn (drained) and a 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Mix together really well and pour into a greased pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 mins. So simple, easy and delicious I had to share.
Also if you have a cast iron skillet fry up the bacon in it then bake the actual cornbread in that skillet! You won’t regret it!
That looks really good. I love how you jazzed up the jiffy box.
That looks so good! Being gluten free I can’t use a lot of the cornbread mixes but love adding things to our cornbread recipe.
Looks great! The bacon is the best part… 😉
This sounds good – you had me at Bacon Cornbread! Yumm! Great idea 🙂
This looks delicious and would go great with so many of the meals we make. Thanks for sharing!
This looks yummy! Not to mention, really simple to make. Thank you for sharing!
