Broccoli Cornbread Casserole Ingredients:
Broccoli Cornbread Casserole takes just a few simple ingredients to
make. To whip up a pan, you'll need:
- Frozen broccoli florets - Thawed frozen broccoli florets easily and conveniently bring the casserole's signature broccoli element. We recommend florets over chopped broccoli because florets are more tender with less stem pieces in the package. That being said, frozen chopped broccoli can be substituted, if you'd like.
- Jiffy corn muffin mix - Creates the cornbread base of the casserole. Taking advantage of packaged Jiffy corn muffin mix means super easy prep for this tasty comfort food casserole. Substitute any 7-ounce to 8.5-ounce package of corn bread mix for the Jiffy mix, if you'd prefer.
- Canned cream-style corn - Brings fabulous background flavor to the casserole, and provides some of the moisture needed to mix up the cornbread.
- Eggs - Helps the cornbread mixture rise and bake into a cohesive structure.
- Sour cream - Brings moisture and richness to the cornbread mixture. We recommend using full-fat regular sour cream, but reduced-fat sour cream works fine as well.
- Vegetable or canola oil - Provides moisture and helps bake up a nice, tender cornbread base.
- Granulated sugar - Just a small touch of granulated sugar slightly sweetens the cornbread, creating really nice flavor.
- Salt & pepper - Seasons and enhances the casserole's flavors.
How to Make Broccoli Cornbread Casserole:
Broccoli Cornbread Casserole is super easy to make. -- A little
measuring, a very little bit of chopping, and some stirring is all it
takes!
To get a pan started, combine a can of cream-style corn, some eggs,
sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl
and stir them until they're well mixed. Then add in a package of Jiffy
corn muffin mix and stir that in until everything's just
combined.
Finally, stir in some thawed frozen broccoli florets. I like to
coarsely chop the florets, just so there's no huge broccoli chunks in
the finished baked casserole. Also, I sprinkle the broccoli with a
pinch of salt before adding them to the cornbread mixture -- just so
they get a little seasoning flavor boost directly on them before being
stirred in.

Once mixed, spoon the broccoli-cornbread mixture into a greased
9x13-inch baking dish.
Then pop the pan in the oven and bake the casserole up for an hour until
it's set and lightly golden browned.
Then dive on in to the broccoli-cornbread deliciousness. Because
scoopably soft and loaded with flavor, Broccoli Cornbread Casserole
is creamy comfort food at its best.
