This Thanksgiving, try this yummy Jiffy cornbread with creamed corn recipe. It has a crispy crust and a buttery, moist center and a perfect match for my Traeger smoked turkey breast recipe! Show
Spoiler alert, this is not your mother's Jiffy cornbread! This one is loaded with creamed corn, sour cream, bacon, cheddar, and jalapeรฑo pepper! Until now, the best cornbread I had ever had was prepared by my friend, Nancy, at a girl getaway in Lake Arrowhead, CA. Over the years I've asked Nancy for her cornbread recipe, but somehow I always manage to lose it. ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ Not wanting to pester her again, I decided to come up with my own cornbread recipe. Nancy's cornbread had creamed corn, canned diced chiles, and sour cream. I decided to replace the canned chiles with a large jalapeno pepper since I like more heat. Before I knew it, I had all kinds of ingredients popping into my head, applesauce, bacon, cheese... I added applesauce for a touch of sweetness and to make the cornbread moister. The cheese and bacon made it into the recipe because well, let's be honest, they make everything taste better, don't they? Jump to:
