Found this because I was looking for a “modified Jiffy cornbread” recipe since I needed to bring cornbread for a work lunch. It was FANTASTIC! Had two bowls last night and will have some more today for lunch. Can’t wait for lunch! Reminded me of the canned soups I like, but doesn’t taste like canned soup. 😉
Thanks, Wendee! It’s such an easy recipe and one of my family’s favorites! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
