3. Jiffy Cornbread Muffins

We couldn’t talk about Jiffy without mentioning a killer recipe for its intended use.

And these cornbread muffins are my favorite!

I especially love serving these hot out of the oven with an extra dab of butter on top.

From barbecue to chicken dinners to every type of chili, these are the muffins that you’ll want alongside.

Tamales are a labor of love. But this recipe is easy as, well, pie!

Oh, and my secret ingredient. 

Can you guess what it is? Canned creamed corn!

8. Jiffy Cornbread Pancakes

With the weekend coming up, I’ve got my mind set on these pancakes.

They’re crispy, fluffy, and taste like cornbread!

How about crispy bacon and a fried egg?

When in doubt, stick with butter and maple syrup. It’s a classic duo that never gets old.

9. Blueberry Cornbread Streusel Bars 

With all this savory food talk, I almost forgot about this sweet dessert.

Corn casserole is a classic Thanksgiving side that’s even better with a box of Jiffy.

Eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s great as a side or mid-day snack.

14. Chili Cornbread Casserole

Chili and cornbread go hand-in-hand. So why bother making them separately when you can have them all in one?!

Add kidney beans while you’re at it to rev up the protein.

Meaty, hearty, and robust, this is some serious comfort food.

Did someone say potluck? I have just the right dish. 

It’s a Southwestern-style layered salad that puts on quite the show.

There’s a double layer of each ingredient including black beans, corn, tomatoes, feta cheese, and then some.

All that goodness gets a coating of Southwestern dressing.

It wouldn’t be complete, though, without multiple layers of cornbread to soak it all up. 

If you have leftover cornbread, this is a great recipe for it, too.

18. Jiffy Cornbread Stuffing

It’s not Thanksgiving without the stuffing. And this one is well worth adding to the spread.

The combo of sweet cornbread and savory Italian sausage with a hint of sage tastes like the holidays.

Plus, you can prepare it the night before. Come Thanksgiving, just pop it in the oven to bake.

These corn cakes bring me back to my youth. Every time we’d go to the Mexican restaurant, I’d get a double order of these. 

Also referred to as tamalitos, they’re like little scoops of heaven that pair really well with spicy and savory food. 

And all it takes is just three simple ingredients!

24. Crockpot Corn Casserole aka Thanksgiving Corn Pudding

Easy Crockpot sides are a must when it comes to Thanksgiving, especially when it’s a comforting cheesy cornbread dish! 

It takes all but 5 minutes to toss everything in the Crockpot. Then, you let it cook for a couple of hours. 

While it’s busy doing its thing, you can spend more time on the rest of the holiday feast.

25. Cajun Cornbread Crusted Chicken Tenders

Chicken tenders aren’t just for kids. They’re for adults, too, and this recipe is proof.

Cajun seasoning and cornbread give the tender juicy chicken a toothsome crunch.

It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and 100 percent mouthwatering. 

Plus, these tasty tenders are baked, not fried. So they’re easier to make and healthier too. 

Now, all you have to decide on is a veggie side dish to go with it.
