Ingredients
This recipe for cornbread with creamed corn is made with a few simple ingredients that you may already have in your pantry. Jiffy corn muffin mix is the base of this cornbread recipe.
Creamed corn brings more corn flavor to this cornbread bread recipe and also helps to add moister. The sugar helps to add a bit of sweetness. T
he milk helps to make the cornbread moist as well as does the egg. The egg also acts as a leavening agent for this cornbread with creamed corn.
My first tip is to melt butter in the cast iron skillet. Butter is melted into the cast iron skillet before adding the other mixed ingredients into the skillet. The melted butter helps to create a crispy crust as well as add a buttery flavor to the crust.
How To Make
Our creamy cornbread casserole recipe is simple to make and comes out of the skillet moist with crispy edges. The key to making this recipe is using a cast iron skillet to bake the cornbread in.
To get those crispy edges we need to use a bit of butter. Into the skillet, 4 tablespoons of butter is added. The 12-inch skillet is then placed into a preheated 400 ℉ oven for 10 minutes. This will give the cast iron skillet time to heat up as well as the butter to melt completely.
While the skillet is in the oven go ahead and mix together the remaining ingredients. Remove the skillet with the melted butter from the oven and pour the cornbread batter into the skillet on top of the melted butter.
Now, this next step and tip does add time to making this recipe. But trust me it is what helps to get those crispy edges on the cornbread casserole.
Let the skillet full of the cornbread mixture sit for 30 minutes before baking it. Because the cast iron skillet is warm and has melted butter in it. It will start to bake the cornbread casserole as it is sitting for the 30 minutes. Giving the edges of the cornbread with creamed corn extra time to crisp up without overbaking and drying out the whole casserole.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet this cornbread recipe can easily be made in a 9x13 baking dish. Simply eliminate the butter and spray the baking dish with cooking spray.
There is no need to preheat the 9x13 baking dish prior to adding in the cornbread mixture. Nor is 30 minutes of prebaking resting time needed, simply add the mixture to the baking dish and bake. Baking time may need to be adjusted slightly.
How To Serve Cornbread Casserole
Enjoy this cornbread with creamed corn recipe in many different ways, whether you cut it into squares, wedges, or scooped by the spoonful. We like to enjoy it with a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle honey on top of the cornbread with creamed corn for more sweetness.
Of course, butter makes everything even better, right. Slather some butter on top of the corn casserole right out of the oven. The butter will melt easily on top of the warm cornbread.
Bring in some spice with jalapenos. Jalapeno peppers can be mixed into the batter and baked into the cast iron skillet cornbread. This cornbread recipe with jalapenos would make the perfect side dish recipe with chili.
This easy side dish recipe goes great with many dinners. Cornbread with creamed corn is the perfect side dish for BBQ Pork Ribs and baked beans. Of course, it also goes great with most soups, stews, and chilis. It can also be used as a stuffing mix for that Thanksgiving turkey.
