Creamed Corn Cornbread

Stacey – February 19, 2020 – 137 Comments

Jump to Recipe Save Recipe

Sliced Creamed Cornbread served in iron skilit

Pin It!
Y’all, I just love all the variations on cornbread.  Honestly, I’ll take cornbread just about any way I can get it. But I love the myriad of recipes that are out there. 

After I posted my Jazzed Up Jiffy Muffins a few weeks back, I was reminded about another delicious take on cornbread that a friend’s mom used to make when we were kids.  

Sliced Creamed Cornbread with honey

This super delicious, dense, moist cornbread has a bit of a different texture than some of the drier, more crumby cornbreads you’ve known before.  

Adding in a can of cream style corn gives the cornbread more corn flavor and adds a little sweetness. It also makes for a heftier cornbread that almost eats more like a side than a simple bread complement.  I just LOVE it! 

Creamed Cornbread with slice missing

I like to serve this alongside something like chili or taco soup as the sweetness pairs perfectly with dishes that have bold flavors.  

And this is a great base to add some other great flavors, too.  Green onions, cheddar cheese, and chipotle powder are all things that come to mind when I think about delicious additions in this one.

Sliced Creamed Corn Bread

And while I think the crunchy crust that’s created when you bake this in a screaming hot cast iron skillet is the best part, you can do this in a 9×13-inch baking dish as well if you don’t have a 12-inch cast iron pan.  Just keep in mind, you won’t want to preheat that pan in the oven like you do with cast iron.  Simply eliminate the oil, preheat the oven, spray the baking dish/pan with nonstick cooking spray, make the batter as directed, pour it into the dish, and bake.  The cook time should be roughly the same.  

Y’all enjoy!

Author Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 (8.5-ounce) boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (14.75-ounce) can cream style corn
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  • Add the vegetable oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Preheat the oven to 425°F and place the skillet in the oven while it preheats.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread mix, eggs, corn, buttermilk, and butter.
  • Once the oven has preheated, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet being cautious not to splatter the hot oil out. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the cornbread is set, golden brown, and just starting to pull away from the edges of the skillet. Serve warm.

    So I made this for a family gathering and put the mix into muffin tins instead of my large cast iron, for easier individual servings. My son said this was the best cornbread he ever ate! I did use a box of Krusteaz Honey Cornbread mix 15 oz. box and added several ounces from a Jiffy cornbread mix to equal the 17 oz of mix that was needed, since I didn’t have 2 boxes of Jiffy mix. Whether the honey in the one mix was what made my son love this recipe, I don’t know. I have been asked by 2 of my kids to make this again and do it just like I did the first time. My recipe made 18 muffins.

    Absolutely delicious. I wanted to make a most, corn-rich cornbread that almost bordered on a corn pudding type texture, and this was definitely it. So so good. And I definitely second making this in a cast iron pan, because that bit of crunchy crust is wonderful! Making again soon!

    This cornbread is my absolute favorite. I usually use a 9 x 13 but I finally got a cast iron but it’s only 10 inches…will that work?

      November 14, 2022 at 9:16 am

      I’ve only tested it in the larger size. I’m guessing it would work, but it’s just a guess. If you try it, I might place the skillet on a rimmed baking sheet to to catch any overflow if it does rise over the edges of the skillet. Let me know if you try it.

    I’m making this again, for about the fifth time since I found it here. All your recipes that I’ve tried so far are so good. When it is just for the two of us, I wonder if I could make it (maybe in two loaf pans?) and freeze half.

    From another Michigander… This is in my oven right now; my daughter-in-law introduced me to a similar recipe a few years ago and I loved it then. So with today’s big pot of chili, figured this was the day to try my hand at it and in searching for ‘some’ recipe, found yours. Sadly, had to give away my cast iron pans due to arthritis, so settled for a 9 x 13 steel pan. High hopes here! Jiffy is manufactured only a couple counties away so ya know I have to use it rather than some other good brand eh. My folks called this stuff Johnnycake but I dump in sugar and just call it good.

    I love cooking and baking in cast iron and I LOVE this recipe! Here in the NW, we’re fortunate to have Bob’s Red Mill (flours, grains, mixes, etc. ) and I used their Stone Ground Cornbread & Muffin Mix. As well as awesome local butter and eggs from a friend’s hens. Just perfect! This also makes the most delicious breakfast when it’s warmed in the oven after spreading a thin layer of marmalade over the top. Total keeper — thanks, Stacey!

      Add a can of Chipotle pepper with the liquid and two cups of Shredded cheese and you have what in the south is known as one of the recipes for Mexican cornbread. Delicious! Anxious to try your version. Sounds very good! You can’t go wrong with cornbread! The best side for chili, soups, and of course a pot of cooked beans!

    Great recipe. About 40 years ago, my recipe was similar, using creamed corn, sour cream (or plan full-fat yogurt), small can chopped green chilies, minced jalapeno, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and omitting the buttermilk. Your recipe is a great foundation to all kinds of possibilities. Thank you for bringing up many great memories.

    I’ve been making this for more years than I care to admit since finding the recipe in a [vintage] Jiffy recipe booklet.
    It’s delicious! We also like it with a small can of chopped green chiles added to the batter, especially when serving it with chili or green chili pork stew.
    For those that don’t like to use a commercial mix, you can replace the two boxes of Jiffy mix with the following:

    Ingredients
    1 & 1/3 cup all purpose flour
    1 cup degerminated yellow cornmeal
    6 Tbsp sugar
    2 Tbsp baking powder
    3/4 tsp teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup lard (Yes, Jiffy mix contains lard; you can replace it with vegetable shortening, bacon drippings, or your favorite cooking oil but you will need the fat to get the proper result in your finished baked goods.)

    Sift all the dry ingredients together, then cut in the fat until evenly dispersed.
    Proceed with recipe as directed.

    I made several tweaks to this recipe that, according to my entire family, elevates this recipe to 5 stars. I never have buttermilk so I substitute just under a cup of heavy cream mixed with a generous tablespoon of white wine vinegar left to sit at room temperature for half an hour until thickened. Since we like our cornbread sweet, I add up to a 1/2 cup sugar & a 1/2 cup of Splenda to taste and baked it in a sprayed 9 inch baking dish at 350 for approx 35 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle. I have also found that the quality of the creamed corn can make a difference in the outcome.

    I have been making cornbread by adding creamed corn for years, my daughter always called it corney cornbread, but I just made the cornbread just as the box says and added 1/2 can of can to one box of Jiffy cornbrread mix and that was just fine in an 8×8 square cake pan, an 8″ round cake pan or as 6 muffins.

    I have been searching for a good cornbread recipe and this was a winner! Absolutely delicious and SO easy to make. Every store I went to was out of buttermilk so I made my own. I used plain yogurt (homemade) added enough milk so it had the consistency of buttermilk then added a T of lemon juice to make it sour. Made in a 9×13 pan. It worked perfectly. Thank you for this amazing recipe.

    My husband told me to add creamed corn to the Jiffy mix. I have used whole milk and had rave reviews. I have added green pepper (or any color), green onion, cooking onion, bacon, shredded cheese, regular corn, added in whatever mix I think would work with the main dish. I eyeball the amounts once I have stirred them into the batter. I spray my cast iron skillet. When I take the pan out of the oven, I immediately spread butter over the whole top and put some around the edge so it can melt & cover the sides. (I use olive oil in the batter. I have been accused of using butter because I covered the outside with it)

    I happen to like the “dryer” flakey corn bread as apposed to the cornbread that is more “four-ey” to add to stews and chili beans. I do however like it a bit more on the sweet side as well. Does jiffy have a mix that has a bit less flour or any other brand y’all know of that does?

    I don’t have jiffy mix. Can I use just regular corn meal?

      You would need to replace it with an equal measurement of self rising cornmeal mix and perhaps some sugar to mimic the Jiffy mix. This might be helpful: https://www.food.com/recipe/jiffy-corn-muffin-mix-copycat-345502

      This video shows you how to make a buttermilk substitute out of the milk you have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxu5O6qRB44

      For those of you who do not have buttermilk on hand, I found a tip elsewhere to freeze buttermilk. I buy the buttermilk to make biscuits and with the leftover, I freeze it in ice cube trays. For ice cubes my size, I use 10 to equal 1 cup. Take a cup of water and pour it into your ice trays, then you will know for sure. Dump out the water fill your trays and later flip out into plastic bags. Now I always have buttermilk on hand for biscuits, chicken, and now creamed cornbread. Yum!

    Hello! I just wanted to make note that I cooked this recipe in a bread pan and had to add about 30 minutes onto the cook time. After 25 minutes, it was still jiggly and very wet when I tested it with a skewer. Just an FYI to anyone else who is using a bread pan like me: the cook time should probably be 45-50 mins, not 20-25.

      Hi K! Can you share more about what you mean by bread pan? Like a loaf pan? What was the approximate size?

    I just have a question before I make it. Do I drain the liquid the corn has in it or do I pour the whole thing in.

    Can I swap out the buttermilk for plain Greek yogurt? This will be my first attempt with cornbread.

      Liz, someone else above used sour cream successfully, so yes, plain Greek yogurt should work fine! What you need is the sourness to act with the baking soda in the mix so that it rises properly. Let us know how it worked out! This recipe is the bomb, by the way. My kids LOVE it…but they love corn. This recipe and the 5 ingredient enchiladas show up on our dinner table regularly. Thanks, Stacey!

        I used the exact amount of ingredients listed here and it was a disaster. It turned out to be more of a cornbread pudding. Very disappointed. I think the liquid is too much.

    I made this tonight, and in addition to the can of Creamed Corn, I added 1 can of Sweet Kernel Corn… Served warm with Raspberry Jalepeno, Blackberry, Apricot and Peach Preserves… Absolutely delicious! I will make variations of this Cornbread all Summer long! This will be the perfect complement to anything that comes out of my smoker!

    I have made this variation for years; adding creamed corn, etc. Because I don’t usually have BUTTERMILK on hand, I’ve replaced that 1 cup buttermilk WITH 1 cup SOUR CREAM; which I always have available.

      Antionette, you can also make a buttermilk substitute (put 1T lemon juice or white vinegar in a 1C measure cup and top off with scant cup of milk; let sit for 5 mins to curdle) which is what I did tonight. I forgot about using sour cream! Anyway, this cornbread turned out fabulous and went well with the chili I made.

      You can try it, but I fear it might be too much batter for a 10-inch. I suppose you could always fill it about 2/3 full and discard the rest of the batter to prevent it from spilling over.

    I make mine with 2 cups of SR cornmeal mix, 1 egg, can creamed corn, 1 cup buttermilk. I preheat my skillet in a 450 degree oven with crisco turkey bacon fat mix or heat it dry and spray the skillet.

        I’m from big family and we grew up this way from scratch. my mother don’t like sweet cornbread but I’ve use jiffy in a pinch no time for scratch cooking. I’ve also used jalapenos & colored peppers (cutup) for a bit of heat (it’s always a hot). Oh so good. Thanks for letting it the great secret ???????? stage safe and keep sharing.

    Looks like a good recipe to try, but I’ll use a mix that, IMO, is so much better than Jiffy! My go-to brand is Krusteaz. Does anybody else have a favorite?

      I grew up in Michigan where Jeffry puts out some pretty awesome stuff. When I go home we always go to Chelsea Michigan and not only corn bread but cup cake mixes but pancake mixes. Much cheaper in Michigan than in TN. I do make my cornbread from scratch. But I will get some Jeffry for this recipe.

      I like Marie Callender’s brand mix. The corn meal comes out less gritty somehow. I have my great grandmother ‘s cook book from the 20’s. (stuff like baked possum and peanut butter soup, lol. Got to love the great depression cooking.) That cookbook calls for cooled bacon drippings as part of the fat in the recipe. I was told she put crumbled bacon in it along with the cream corn. I plan to give it a try next time I make stew.

        Jeremy, I was quite delighted to read your comments following Southern Bites Creamed Corn Jiffy Corn Bread! I have a great love of old cookbooks, especially ones in which the cook has written notations along the side; well-loved family recipes on note cards with bacon grease on the pages, sometimes calling for lard & other ingredients (by different names) we don’t use anymore in quantities that must be researched just to find out exactly how much is needed! Some of my cookbooks traveled over the Plains w/original owners from across the pond, using quantities totally unheard of these days! I had to look up some using old laboratory measures. I’d love to hear from you with your game recipes, and esp the Peanut Butter soup, but I know of many who still hunt game, and we enjoy some now and then! Facebook me! (I have a Peanut Butter Pie.) Always looking for originals to try out!

      Krusteaz is by far the absolute BEST box brand for Cornbread.
      My recipe is:
      1 box Krusteaz, 1 Egg, 1 C melted butter, 14 oz can cream corn, 1 cup sour cream, 2 T honey
      mix all and pour into 12 in warmed Cast iron skillet bake 45 -50 minutes.
      I know not exactly from scratch but Ill put it up against ANY other.

      Try it.
      Thank me in a reply. Ha. Merry Christmas everyone
