How to Make Cheesy Spicy Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch casserole dish or muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, milk, eggs, shredded cheese, chili powder, salt, and flour.
  3. Mix well until just combined. If the batter seems too dry, add a splash more milk until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared dish.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For high altitude baking, add an additional 2-3 minutes to the cook time.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
