Jiffy Muffin Mix

I absolutely love using boxes of Jiffy Muffin Mix for recipes. They are really inexpensive and I always have a box or two in my pantry. I love the sweetness that Jiffy has. NOTE: If you don’t like sweet cornbread, you will not like this recipe. It is both a sweet and savory recipe since Jiffy Muffin Mix has quite a bit of sugar added.

Great For Using Up Leftover Ham

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas ham. You will need 1 cup of diced ham for this recipe.

How To Serve Broccoli and Ham Jiffy Cornbread

Goes great with chicken, soup, chili, southern cabbage, or Spicy Black-Eyed Peas.

Recommended Equipment

10 to 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet. Cast Iron is by far the best type of pan for making cornbread. It maintains heat really evenly and gets the outside of the cornbread golden and crispy.

Preheat The Pan

For best results with any cornbread recipe, preheat the pan with some butter in it. Watch carefully because butter burns easily.

Cooking Time

The cooking time will vary some based on the size of your cast iron skillet. If using a 10-inch skillet, it will take a little longer than using a 12-inch skillet.

Make It Spicy

I add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper which gives the cornbread just a little heat. For extra heat, double the amount.

Can I Use Fresh Broccoli?

Yes, you can use fresh broccoli, but you will need to steam it until crisp-tender. It will soften up a little more in the oven.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator and reheat in a 300 degree oven until warm.
