A versatile cornbread casserole that serves as a comforting side dish or main course, customizable with various ingredients like cheese, jalapeños, or ground beef.
Ingredients
Scale:
Cornbread mix
Cream corn
Eggs
Cheese (cheddar or spicy pepper jack)
Ground beef (optional)
Jalapeños
Vegetables (such as bell peppers or additional corn kernels)
Sour cream (optional)
Onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the cornbread mix and cream corn.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs before adding them to the cornbread mixture.
Stir in half of the cheese. If using, add cooked ground beef, jalapeños, and any veggies of choice.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Top with the remaining cheese for that gooey finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
If you added sour cream, be sure to gently fold it into the batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
