Tex-Mex Cornbread

Tex-Mex Cornbread

A great recipe that you can make in a small amount of time, and a reasonable cost. You can make this as a main dish or serve it as a side. It goes great with some Spanish Rice or refried beans. Top it with thick and chunky salsa, sour cream, lettuce, or even avocado if you want.

  5. Spread out the mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 pan.

Notes

The basic Jiffy cornbread mix requires 1 egg, and 3/4 cup of milk so if you are using 2 boxes then you would double those ingredients. The more ingredients you add the more box mixes you can use, making it denser. Depending on how many boxes you use, depends on the cook time.  For 2 boxes we typically cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted.
