Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

"Very easy, savory cornbread recipe using jiffy cornbread mix. Can add 1/4 cup sliced green onions if desired. If you don't like too much spice, add less jalapenos! I actually use a whole 4 ounce can of jalapenos! I always use mini muffin tins. If mixture is too thick, use a splash of milk to thin it out. I live at high altitude, so I add 2 tablespoons flour. Recipe edited to include milk."

  1. I agree with the other reviewers that these are delicious. I really like the slight sweetness of Jiffy mix and they're really light. I will make again but will reduce the butter and cheese by half. I didn't use salt - none needed. I used 2 aluminum/disposable mini bread loaf pans and cooked for 20 minutes. They were still very loose in the center but I think from so much butter and cheese. Would be perfect for a black iron skillet or cornbread pan! They do rise a little so don't fill batter all the way to top of skillet/pan.
     
  2. Wow! These were fantastic. I made them in mini-muffin tins and they made 20. I used the jarred pickled jalapenos--maybe 3 or 4 T--and chopped them up myself. Insanely yummy!
     
  3. How is this even a recipe? Open box of mix, add some canned products to it and bake. I'm surprised that it doesn't call for a 12 ounce package of shredded cheese.
     
  4. I'm so glad I found your recipe. I've been trying to clean out my pantry and wanted to use up one of the boxes of Jjiffy cornbread mix that had been taking up space for too long. I wasn't expecting the bread to be so tender. I used a little less melted butter and cheese (got to save calories where you can). My DH is not a big cornbread fan and he really liked this version. It was the perfect compliment to our chili. Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Super easy little muffins. Followed the recipe exactly. They were great with some salted butter and a drizzle of honey.
