We are hitting the time of year when sweaters come out, scarves come on, and soups start to get highlighted on the weekly menu rotation. I love Fall. But with Fall weather and wardrobes comes what I like to call “Fall Chaos”. Holy cow! You guys, our Fall is usually super busy. Between school, sports, and family activities, you throw in football watching on weekends, and the up coming arrival of holidays, and well, I feel like I have zero time for anything.
I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way, so today I am going to share with you one of my favorite time savers: Using baking mixes to simplify life while still feeding my family.
This recipe uses a mix, Martha White® Baking Mixes, cornbread, but you can make your own Cornbread Recipe if you don’t want to use a mix.
Creatively Happy!
Anyway, I had this idea that I could use the Martha White® Baking Mixes, and add a little to them to make them fun and customized. They are really awesome just as they are, but I can’t leave well enough alone, and so I used the Martha White® Sweet Yellow Cornbread Baking Mix as a base to make something tasty to go with chili con carne. Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread.
Now tell me that doesn’t look amazing? And kind of impressive too, right? Oh man, it was good, and so ridiculously easy to make. So don’t feel like you will get different results, it is easy enough my kids could make it!
So here’s how: I took 2 Yellow Corn Bread baking mixes, and followed the directions on the bag, adding eggs and milk. Then I added in some cheese and jalapenos,
Then I just poured it into a cast iron skillet, add a few jalapenos to the top for decoration, and baked it up!
It turned out awesome. And literally took less than 5 minutes of my time to get in the oven. The ideal side dish for a slow cooker full of Crockpot Chicken Tortilla soup, beef stew, or brisket chili. And no one has to know you used a mix!
