How To Make Jiffy Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

Start by adding the two boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to the bowl, as well as the two eggs.
You can use the regular Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix or the Jiffy Vegetarian Corn Muffin Mix for this recipe.

Pour the vegetable oil into the bowl.

Next, pour the milk into the bowl with the muffin mix.

Add the sour cream and mix everything well.

Finally, add the shredded cheddar cheese and jalapenos and mix well.
My husband said that he thought the jalapeno cornbread would taste great with or without the shredded cheese.
If you love cheese as I do, you can keep it a part of the recipe, but if you’re not big on cheese, give it a try without it.
For the jalapenos, I bought a jar that was precut. I went on and diced them up just a little bit more for the recipe.

Sprinkle some jalapenos on top and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

For this recipe, you can add as much or as little diced jalapeños as you’d like to. Pile it on if you love your cornbread spicy.
