Easy and Delicious Cornbread Recipe for Any Occasion

[ragschef]

1 (9 ounce) box corn muffin mix
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/3 cup milk
4 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup water

Preheat oven to 350.
Thoroughly spray muffin pan cups with non-stick spray.
Pour mixes into large batter bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
The batter will be very thick.
Pour into prepared muffin cups.
I made 12 regular sized muffins and 24 mini muffins from one batch of this batter, and had a tiny bit left over for the"bowl lickers".
Bake mini muffins for 15 minutes, or until golden.
Bake regular sized muffins for 20 minutes, or until golden.

You can do it in the mini muffin pan or in the large bar pan. My daughter likes them both. I also add onions and jalpenos to half of the mixture for myself when I use the muffin pan.

You'll be surprised how good this really is. When I first got it from a friend, I thought, "cake mix? in a cornbread recipe?", but it truly is good...

Enjoy!


This recipe pairs very well with the Chunky Beef Chili on the recipe search box on CC. I use it atleast 5 times in a winter...

This sounds so good! I am going to have to go get a yellow cake mix and give it a try.

My son LOVES muffins - I think he would really like these!

Shoot - and we just had the 20 Minute Chili this past weekend.....think it's too soon to make it again?:balloon:

OR how well do you think cornbread goes with whitefish and sundried tomato/feta pasta?

I don't know about ragschef but around here... cornbread goes with just about anything!

Yeah, but Diane - you know where I live.....and it's not the land of cornbread and grits! I'm still going to try it though!

Well... in GR and my family in other parts of MI ... we grew up on Johnny Cake...yum... (smothered in butter and syrup... can you tell I'm hungry???) which is my preferred way to eat cornbread but that's pretty much a different recipe all together than these awesome cornbreads from good southern cooks. My favorite one here is make with a can of creamed corn in it and it's SO good! and GRITS! We love em! Can't say as I'd put cornbread with feta and pasta though... but a good ole biscuit sounds great!

I use a box of instant vanilla pudding. It makes them sweet. My family LOVES them!! Now that I live in the South I'm finding it's sacreligious to mess with a cornbread mix

I bake my cornbread muffins in the privacy of my own home so word doesn't get out <<shhh>>

This is an AWESOME recipe!!!! I filled 3 mini-muffin pans full and they are GONE! We did send a few in for my kids' teacher, but most were devoured by the kids. Really easy too. I'm heading out to stock-up on corn muffin mix ~ G-d forbid we crave these and I'm out of ingredients. lol.

TY for sharing this recipe! Is it a PC recipe?

We gobbled them up, for snack & breakfast! Poof, gone!

 

[chefann]

mmm... these would be great for breakfast with some honey or jelly and a big cup of strong coffee. Great. Now I'm hungry.

Diane, will you share that recipe please???? I always have a can of creamed corn (grew up with corn soup - just add milk, heat and melt a little butter on top. yum!).

Now you got me thinking about some good ol' cathead biscuits with white gravy.... mmmm..... My mom used to makethem every Sunday morning before church and oh how I miss them. I can't make them like she used to....
Grits went very well with cathead gravy biscuits too.

I love the cornbread with creamed corn it too. My daughter wont it those but she likes the sweeter breads. She's only 3 though. Her tastebuds are still growing an will change with time.... I hope....

It's not a PC recipe. Just one my family has lived with for years. Glad you like it.

Thanks Amanda for this yummy recipe. I'm trying it out this week with my family with potato soup. I'm using this one for my January shows. I wanted a different take on cornbread. I'm making it in the mini loaf pan to showcase the stoneware.
