| Cooking Time | 35-40 minutes |
| Total Time | 45-55 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Easy |
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 packages Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 12 oz frozen sweet corn (thawed and drained well)
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (good quality, for moisture)
- 1 pinch granulated sugar (to balance flavors)
- 4 large eggs (beaten until just combined)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
This ensures it’s at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake your cornbread.
Step 2: Prepare and Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine 2 boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix, 4 beaten eggs, 3/4 cup of melted butter, 1 (12 ounce) package of thawed frozen corn, 1 finely diced medium onion, 1 cup of small curd cottage cheese, and a pinch of sugar.
Mix well until everything is combined; note that the batter will be thicker than you might expect.
Step 3: Optional Ingredient Additions
If you want to add some extra flavor, consider mixing in one or more of the following ingredients into the batter before baking: a can of chopped green chiles, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of pepperjack cheese, or 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
Stir to combine evenly.
Step 4: Pour Batter and Bake
Pour the mixture into a buttered 9″ x 13″ casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven.
This cooling time enhances the flavor and makes it easier to cut into servings.
Enjoy your deliciously moist and flavorful cornbread!
