Mexican Cornbread
This Mexican Cornbread isn’t just a side dish — it’s pure comfort in a skillet. It goes perfectly with just about anything, especially with a drizzle of honey butter (trust me on that one). I made it tonight alongside my Loaded Meatloaf Casserole, and the combo was a hit at my house!
It’s quick to whip up, super flavorful, and turns any regular dinner into a cozy family favorite. Whether you’re pairing it with chili, BBQ, or a weeknight casserole, this cornbread always hits the spot.

-
1 Mixing bowl- But just know, I love this set from Amazon
-
1 Whisk- I found myself needing a few and here is what I got
-
12 inch Cast Iron- Like this Lodge
-
1 measuring cup- Just got these- They are nice!
-
1 measuring spoon set- The above set includes them if you do not have them!
Ingredients
- 2 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk- I also like buttermilk
- 1 cup canned cream corn kernels
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese2
- 2 ounces canned dice jalapeno (these will be 4 ounce cans, discard the rest)
- 2 ounces canned diced green chiles (these will be 4 ounce cans, discard the rest)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, eggs, and milk until smooth.
-
Stir in the corn kernels, diced green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, and melted butter until evenly combined.
-
Grease the cast iron but then add about a quarter inch or less to the bottom of you cast iron, and place in the oven for about 5 minutes to get the oil sizzling.
-
Add the mixture to the cast iron, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean- Keep an eye every 7-8 minutes- look for the edges to start pulling off the side.
-
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes, and dump over onto a serving plate to keep it crispy- If you leave it in the pan, it will get a little soggy- but just as good.
