Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade cornbread mix instead of Jiffy. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier twist. If you prefer a bit of spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños. Remember to mix well to avoid lumps for a smooth texture in the final dish.
