In the South, cornbread is practically its own food group!

It can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner–and I can’t say that I’m disappointed by that!

Cornbread is so simple, so affordable, and it pairs with with almost any meal.

Serve it alongside a piping hot bowl of chili, or paired with fried chicken for a classic Southern feast.

No matter how you eat it, cornbread is the ultimate comfort food that never fails to satisfy.

This beloved staple of Southern cuisine is about as versatile as it gets, including in how it’s prepared.

And there are others who stand by the consistency of a boxed mix.

Myself, I’m just looking for a recipe that’s not too difficult but has incredible flavor.

How to Make Broccoli Cheese Cornbread with Jiffy Mix

It’s really easy to make this simple dish.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Eggs
• Cornbread Mix
• Salted Butter
• Frozen Broccoli
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Black Pepper

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe card is available below)

Beat the eggs. First, you’ll use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs lightly in a large mixing bowl.

Add the cornbread mix. Next, you’ll stir in the cornbread mix and melted butter until blended.

Add broccoli and cheese. Then, you’ll add frozen broccoli, shredded cheese, and black pepper.

Stir until incorporated.

Prepare the pan. Next, you’ll spread the batter in the prepared baking dish.

Bake and enjoy. Last, you’ll bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cornbread is puffed and golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes and Adaptations:

• Most small packages of frozen broccoli are either 10.8-oz or 12-oz. You can use two 10-oz packages or one and a half 12-oz packages. Or, if you want extra broccoli, you can use two 12-oz packages.
• You do not need to thaw the frozen broccoli before using. If you have very large florets in your package, you may want to chop them up a bit to be more bite-size.
