Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the butter and Jiffy mix together until well combined.
- Add the cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, sour cream, and slightly beaten eggs to the mixture.
- Pour the batter into a greased casserole dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or diced jalapeños to the batter. If you're looking for a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. You can also use homemade cornbread mix instead of Jiffy mix for a from-scratch variation. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary; the spoonbread should be golden brown and set in the center.
