Since I have been in America, I have realized that Cornbread is a common type of bread/cake style in the United States.

In fact, it was originated from the Native Americans of the southern section.

Cornbread is a side dish that is baked throughout the year, but I have realized that during holidays, it’s a favorite of many.

When I was growing up in Jamaica, I remembered eating cornbread (something similar to what we call coco bread) for lunch when I was going to school.

It was so buttery and the scent that it gives off, so delicious.

I used to get it when the bakery in my hometown would put out that fresh batch and within thirty minutes it would be all gone.

I would add a slice of cheese and that’s all I needed to full my belly for the rest of the day.

Other Cheesy Cornbread Recipe

I have tasted a lot of cornbread and it’s either a little too sweet like pound cake or way too dry…a few was okay.

In my small opinion, cornbread has to be a little bit soft and not coarse, or else it will choke you.

With the one I used to bake, my husband told me it was too dry.

So I had to find a new recipe, one that we all can enjoy, with no complaints.

In my search, I found a recipe done by Ayesha Curry on the Food Network website.

I did it the original way but it still wasn’t my liking.

Nothing was wrong with hers, it’s just that I figured out a little cheese added to the mixture makes the texture much softer and not too dry.

Instead of using one cup of creamy style corn, I used the entire can (14.25 oz).

Plus, I didn’t do the jalapeno butter she did for her corn bread.

But you can easily add the jalapenos to make this a Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread by removing the seeds from about one to two jalapenos.

Dice them up and add them to your batter.

I am by no means a professional at this, but I always say, as long as you can read and have an appetite, then you can create something in the kitchen.

So since I have changed up the recipe, my family loves it.

My husband keep asking me what’s the difference in this one because it’s really good, probably the best.

Shhh…I am never going to tell him my secret.

Where can I find these ingredients to make Cheesy Cornbread?

This Cheesy Cornbread Jiffy recipe is not from scratch.

Yep, I used a brand called Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix as the base for this cornbread recipe just like Ayesha Curry’s recipe.

The creamy style corn and cheddar cheese is Walmart brand and yes all these ingredients can be found at Walmart (This is not an ad).

It is a simple and easy recipe that you can whip up in a few minutes, put in the oven and just in time to be served with your dinner.
