WEEK of November 23rd through 29th, 2025 including THANKSGIVING DAY my house

SUNDAY: Chuch was very good and then Glenda, Carol, Marlene, Marsha and her daughter Colleen and I went to Arby's. We tried the sirloin nuggets and were disappointed with them. They were tender and tasty, but I don't think they were all that freshly cooked. Then I decided to go to Aldi's and get groceries. I was able to get everything on my list except for candied fruit for the fruitcake I was thinking of making tomorrow. I am so glad that I got groceries today instead of waiting until tomorrow. When I got home, I found the movie THE ALINA THOMPSON STORY, on HOOPLA. MONDAY: In the morning I made cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner. I also washed and dried my Christmas tablecloth, and got out some of my Christmas decorations for the living room and the family room. I called SPECTRUM and got directions how to make my Xumo box/tv work and I wrote down the directions and tried on my own a few times. I think I can do it myself in the future. I finished watching the movie I started last night on HOOPLA. A true story about a would be model (teen girl) who was almost a victim of a serial killer, BUT SHE LIVED to tell about it and started another movie on HOOPLA. TUESDAY: Bible Study/Life Group was very good. After that, I headed out to Dr. Bax's office (he is a dermatologist from Roswell) for a full body check. It went well and quickly and he said my skin looks healthy and he did not see any troublesome areas. Then I picked up a sub at SUBWAY, the I went to PANERA's for a drink where I ran into Pam, and we sat and visited for a little while. I stopped at DOLLAR TREE and got a few items. Then to Niagara Produce for a half gallon of cider and a couple of other items. Then home where I ate my lunch and vacuumed the living room, swept the front porch and scrubbed the inside of the toilet, and then laid on the couch for a while, I don't know if I fell asleep, I think probably not. WEDNESDAY: Andrea picked Pam and I up at my house and we went to BARKER SENIORS. I paid for her lunch as well as mine, because she drove. We had a very nice Christmas sing-a-long that took up most of the morning, and then lunch, and then a meeting. I had purchased six 50/50 ticket but somehow, three of them disappeared. Even so, I won one of the 50/50s in the amount of $18.00. The wierd thing was that I also won the free lunch on another one of my tickets, but since I had already won something, I said "give it to someone else" so I drew the next ticket. After I got home, I got Andrea connected with Michaelene, since Michaelene has a trailer for sale and Andrea is thinking of purchasing one. the cake and the corn casserole. Connie called and we talked for twenty minutes or so. THANKSGIVING DAY 2025 it is 9:35 and the squash is in the casserole dish and ready to put in the oven. The PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE in a Bundt Pan is in the oven. Peggy called and told me that Betty Hoste will be having dinner alone at Denny's. So, I called her and invited her to my house, but she declined. I consider this the death blow to our friendship and it hurts. I still care about her and will help her if and when she asks, but I guess we truly are no longer friends. This is the recipe I chose instead of my standard corn pudding or corn casserole: SWEET CORN SPOON BREAD (but it is not sweet) 1 (8.5-ounce) package JIFFY Corn Muffin Mix ▢1 (14.75-ounce) can cream style corn ▢1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn (drained) ▢1/2 cup butter (melted; 1 stick) ▢1 cup sour cream ▢3 eggs ▢1/2 teaspoon salt Instructions ▢ Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the ingredients and mix well. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until the spoon bread is golden brown and set. David prepared the turkey, gravy and stuffing at home and brought them over. He was obviously very proud of the turkey:

We ended up having Thanksgiving dinner a few minutes after three p.m. It was turkey, stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes that Peggy and David made and supplied. I provided HOMEMADE cranberry sauce, butternut squash casserole, devilled eggs, pickled beets, corn spoon bread, rolls and butter and I made the pineapple upside down cake for dessert and provided meltaway cookies that I bought at Aldi. Becky brought an apple pie and a plate of homemade cookies. Luis took a lot of dessert items home, as well as some food, and Peg and I put together a box of food for her to take to Becky Daniels and her husband tomorrow. I called Megan and talked to her for a few minutes, then I called Tyler and talked to him for a minute, and then I called Cassy and we talked the longest, and she told me about the house they are renting. FRIDAY: Pam, Jan, Lori and I agreed to meeet at the PALACE at 12:40 for the movie IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

There were only about a dozen or maybe a dozen and a half people there. Gail, Bob and Marty were in the back row. I went back to talk to them for a couple of minutes before the movie started. Unfortunately, I kept dozing off during the movie. I had planned to suggest that we all go out for pizza afterwards, but I decided not to. I went to the library where I picked up two books I had requested, and purchased one for Becky's birthday, and then picked up three slices of pizza at PIZZA OVEN. At home, I had the pizza, some hot cider and a serving of corn spoon pudding for an early supper. I emptied the dishwasher and put a lot of Thanksgiving silverware, plates, etc. away. I figured out how to transfer pics from my phone to my flickr account. A lot of things changed on my phone when I updated it a week or so ago, including how to transfer pictures. I firmed up plans with Andrea regarding going to Medina tomorrow for supper at Rudy's, the parade and to hear and see her sons group perform Christmas music in the old theatre. SATURDAY the 29th: In the middle of the night, I realized that I did not feel well at all. My head was all stuffed up, and I had a tiny headache and a tiny sore throat. I decided that I will not be going to Medina today. I called Andrea at nine a.m. to tell her. I spent the day at home, only going outsde to move my car to inside the garage. I started to feel much better in the mid afternoon but it did not last. I took care of the turkey carcass, making a huge pot of turkey, rice, carrot soup and I had a small bowl for lunch. I have another pot of broth and turkey on the front porch. I may make turke and dumplings tomorrow.

Reply Deb Myers March 13, 2023 at 8:51 pm 5 starsMy son in law gave it a 10 out of 10. I may make it for Easter dinner. You may have to cook it longer to get the middle done. Reply Stacey LittleStacey March 14, 2023 at 8:21 am Wonderful! Glad he enjoyed it! Reply Jenny January 14, 2023 at 4:04 pm Can you use this recipe to make mini muffins? Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 17, 2023 at 8:47 am I’ve not tried that, but I think it could certainly work. Reply Terry T January 7, 2023 at 8:37 pm 5 starsThis spoon bread was the Bomb! So delicious!Almost like dessert. Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 9, 2023 at 12:32 pm Thanks, Terry! Glad you liked it! Reply Ashley December 23, 2022 at 10:26 am 5 starsMy entire family and my in-laws absolutely LOVE this spoon bread!!! Reply Jenny December 18, 2022 at 1:29 am 5 starsThis recipe is a HUGE hit! Thank you SO much! I’ve been making it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. LOVE it! I was going to make it the day before this Christmas because we only have one oven and to save on oven time. If you have time and don’t mind, how would I reheat this? In the microwave, oven…? Thank you so much! Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 20, 2022 at 4:26 pm I’m so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it, Jenny! You can reheat it using either the microwave or the oven, but I typically prefer the oven. Reply Linda Bernal December 6, 2022 at 3:27 pm 5 starseasy, yummy and will follow… Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 7, 2022 at 9:36 am Hope you’ll enjoy! Reply Patti November 24, 2022 at 10:21 am 5 starsSimple and delicious! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 24, 2022 at 10:39 am Thanks, Patti! Reply Amanda November 24, 2022 at 9:55 am 5 starsSo delicious and it’s requested every year for thanksgiving! Can I substitute the casserole dish for a 12×10 aluminum pan without doubling the recipe or should I double it? Reply Shoshana November 24, 2022 at 9:39 am I now make this every year for thanksgiving (and sometimes days in between) and my family always loves it! I’ll never eat regular corn bread again. When i heat up leftovers i smear a bit of butter on top and it’s heaven. Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 24, 2022 at 9:51 am I’m so glad to hear y’all have enjoyed this! Reply DavidaRochelle November 22, 2022 at 11:25 pm 5 starsFriend brought this dish to our Friendsgiving potluck last Sat night and I asked her for the recipe. I’ve never had spoonbread before. Can I substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream? Do you relaly need one stick of butter? Do you recommend adding sauteed onion or chopped anned green chili peppers? Cheddar cheese on top? Delicious but I’d like to make it even better and a bit healthier. Thanks. Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 23, 2022 at 9:21 am I’m not sure about “better”. 🙂 Of course, I”m just kidding. Yes, you can use greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I would not suggest using less butter, but you’re welcome to test it. When it comes to the additions, I think any or all of those would be great! Reply Vicky jesse November 22, 2022 at 2:57 pm 5 starsYummy easy crowd pleasing. Five ⭐️ Reply Vicky jesse of Jesse farms November 22, 2022 at 3:00 pm Put a thin layer of leftover taco meat in center. Served it with sour cream and enchilada sauce. Green and red. Yum Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 23, 2022 at 9:27 am Yum! Stacey LittleStacey November 23, 2022 at 9:27 am Thanks, Vicky! Reply Jeanean Miles November 22, 2022 at 12:57 pm I have made this before and it is amazing. Have you made this a day in advance and rewarmed it/ if yes how did it turn out? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 23, 2022 at 9:33 am Yes! It reheats pretty well. Reply Amy November 19, 2022 at 7:43 am 5 starsMy mom shared this recipe with me a few years ago and I’ve been making it ever since. It is DELICIOUS! We spend Thanksgiving weekend at our lake house in the Berkshires where it gets pretty cold. I always make a chili on Sat and this is a PERFECT side dish. Thanks for helping us with our traditional meal! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 21, 2022 at 2:53 pm I agree; this sounds perfect with chili. I’ve got to try it! Reply Angie Head November 16, 2022 at 7:13 pm 5 starsI made this tonight. It was easy but didn’t taste easy! It was delicious and I can’t wait to make it again!!!! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 17, 2022 at 2:12 pm Love seeing these types of comments! So glad to hear y’all enjoyed it! Reply MARY FROST R November 29, 2020 at 12:55 pm Hi Tristan, Perhaps there was some confusion – this recipe makes a super moist, soft spoon bread. It will never not be wet and moist inside. That’s kinda the thing with spoon bread – you have to scoop it out with a spoon. Reply Nancy D November 17, 2020 at 1:19 pm I’ve had this recipe written down for close to 30 years. It’s interesting that my old recipe calls for 8 oz. cans of creamed and regular corn, but everything else is the same measurement-wise. I have trouble finding the small cans these days, so I buy the 14-15 oz. cans and end up doubling everything else. I don’t really have a point, it just looks like the version posted here has a lot more corn in it! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 18, 2020 at 8:43 am I do agree that it is harder to find those smaller cans. Reply Casey November 12, 2020 at 2:04 pm Do you ever double this and put it in a 9×13? Just wondered how that would go… Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 12, 2020 at 2:19 pm I haven’t, but I’m pretty sure a few readers have. Should work just fine with some additional cook time. Just be sure not to overfill the dish. Reply Kym April 29, 2020 at 6:01 pm 5 starsHave to let others know you can make this gluten free with GF corn bread mix and GF creamed corn (and check the other ingredients to be sure Gf). Just use half the box of GF corn bread mix, as most come in16oz boxes. Trader Joe’s makes an excellent GF mix available only in the fall. Just made with Wegmans GF mix tonight and smells delish, haven’t scooped into it yet. Thanks for a great recipe! Reply Stacey LittleStacey April 30, 2020 at 9:06 am Thank you so much for sharing that info, Kym! I know many folks will find it helpful. Reply Ashley February 13, 2020 at 8:40 am Have you ever put this recipe in muffin liners? Does the consistency come out the same? Reply Stacey LittleStacey February 14, 2020 at 4:37 pm I’ve not tried it, but can’t imagine why it would be any different. Let me know how it turns out! Reply Angela January 26, 2020 at 6:16 pm I just made this dish and it is delicious. I had 2 helpings. Thank you Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 27, 2020 at 11:40 am Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it, Angela!! Reply Beth January 16, 2020 at 10:17 pm 5 starsThis is positively addictive — and it came together SO quickly. I think it took longer for the oven to preheat than it did to mix this up. The leftovers will go in small casseroles with some chili and a bit of cheese. This is going into the regular dinner rotation — and to everyone involved with this over the years, y’all are geniuses! Thank you! Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 17, 2020 at 3:09 pm What a fantastic idea for the leftovers! So glad y’all enjoyed it!! Reply Grace November 23, 2019 at 6:36 am 5 starsI found this recipe 5 years ago and have been using it ever since. It is a big hit every year! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 26, 2019 at 12:41 pm Love, love, love hearing that! Happy Thanksgiving!! Reply Mazie Ludwig November 21, 2019 at 9:38 am Thanks for your post. Seeking accurate information is among the biggest issues for the younger generation. Reply Brandy November 18, 2019 at 6:14 pm I was wondering if you could mix the ingredients the night before and then pop in the oven the next day? Wasn’t sure if the corn bread mix would be okay? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 19, 2019 at 9:38 am I wouldn’t recommend it. It comes together pretty quickly, though. If you absolutely must do something the night before, I’d suggest baking it through and then reheating the next day. Hope it turns out great for you! Reply Karen Goodwin November 14, 2019 at 1:20 pm I love it as is. But if I needed to make it with a kick (because I live with people that like everything hot) how much Cheyne pepper would you use? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 14, 2019 at 1:34 pm I’d start with about 1/4 to a 1/2 teaspoon just depending on how hot the Cheyenne pepper you have is. Reply Virginia November 6, 2019 at 8:35 pm 5 starsThis should be one of the items on your Thanksgiving dinner table this year! It is a fabulous recipe and it has been around for awhile, but trust me, there will be someone at your dinner table who has never had this wonderful side dish, so be sure to include as one of your ‘side dishes’ this year. So easy to prepare and it is perfect every time. Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 7, 2019 at 12:35 pm Thanks, Virginia! I couldn’t agree more! Reply Diane November 6, 2019 at 4:46 pm I have been looking for a recipe very like this only not quite so cakey (is that a word). Is there a way to take this and make it more grainy and less stuck together? I originally saw it in a Mexican restaurant as a garnish and it was awesome. It was a much less formed and a little more greasy/buttery/maybe even bacon tasting. If youhave any ideas please let me know. Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 7, 2019 at 12:36 pm I’m not sure I know of something quite like that. Do you remember which restaurant you saw it in? Reply Jackie Clonan November 8, 2019 at 9:32 am 5 starsDiane, could it have been “creamed corn” which Southerners make from scratch? Try Paula Deens site. I remember her making it. Good luck! Reply Joan in VA November 6, 2019 at 4:09 pm 5 starsThis is one of the best spoonbreads I’ve made. I have almost worn out your cookbook. I have lots of favorites. But, it is time for a new cookbook. In fact, I think it is overdue. Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 7, 2019 at 12:36 pm Thanks so much, Joan! I love to hear that you’ve gotten lots of great use out of it! Reply Joan November 6, 2019 at 1:55 pm can this be made ahead and frozen for Thanksgiving . Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 7, 2019 at 12:37 pm It can! Reply Natalie September 29, 2019 at 2:03 pm 4 starsThis was good! I cooked it about 10 minutes longer and the very middle still didn’t set. Next time I’ll know what to look for. I can see how people get creative and add different toppings and flavors to this. Reply Stacey LittleStacey September 30, 2019 at 4:09 pm SO glad you enjoyed it!! Reply Fredro September 20, 2019 at 4:49 am Nice post! Reply Lin August 26, 2019 at 9:38 am I love this recipe and everyone wants it. I add 1/4 cup of sugar to mine. Perfecto! Reply Stacey LittleStacey August 28, 2019 at 10:11 am So glad everyone has enjoyed ti and wants the recipe! Reply Karen C January 20, 2019 at 9:13 am While visiting friends in Ohio this past summer I was introduced to this Sweet corn spoon bread for the first time … YUMMMMM. So easy to make too. Thank you for posting the recipe. DELISH !!!! Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 22, 2019 at 1:31 pm Sure hope you’ll enjoy it!! Reply Aileen January 2, 2019 at 1:06 pm Stacey, wanted to let you know that I made this for Christmas. We all loved it! I normally don’t like the Jiffy mix but it works in this recipe. This will be in the regular rotation! Thanks! 🙂 Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 8, 2019 at 2:27 pm So glad that you all enjoyed it, Aileen! Reply Gabby January 2, 2019 at 12:31 pm Absolutely love his recipe!! It’s always a hit, not a single crumb left. Thank you for sharing. Reply Stacey LittleStacey January 8, 2019 at 2:28 pm So glad that everyone enjoys it!! Reply Angela Ocasio December 24, 2018 at 10:59 am Hi! I’ve made this recipe a bunch of times to great success, thank you. I make it vegan, using vegetarian Jiffy Mix, Follow Your Heart vegan egg, soy yogurt, etc. Each time I make it, it takes 1 hr 15 minutes for the knife to come out clean (even when I made it the regular way). Should I be using this gauge or should it come out wet on purpose? Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 27, 2018 at 5:04 pm It will be a bit wet, but you cook it to the doneness you prefer. 🙂 Reply Deb Miller December 20, 2018 at 11:48 am I make Paula Deen’s corn casserole recipe (Google it). It’s just like this minus the eggs, and so delicious. I take it to all our gatherings, and the casserole dish is always scraped clean! Reply DebraEllen December 17, 2018 at 9:19 pm Good evening Stacey, I’ve made this for the family and they loved it. I’d like to take it to a holiday party we’ve been invited to. Will it set properly if I double the recipe, or will I need to make two batches? Would really like to only need to travel with the one dish as I’m also bringing desserts. Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 18, 2018 at 1:20 pm You can certainly double it. Depending on the pan size, it could take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes longer to cook. Reply Sandy November 24, 2018 at 3:59 pm Hi Stacey, have you ever made this in the crockpot? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 27, 2018 at 8:54 am I haven’t, but have heard that others have been successful with it. Reply Beth November 11, 2018 at 3:26 pm So many comments on this yummy looking spoonbread, that I may have missed someone addressing this. But… I live in the Pacific Northwest, which is most definitely Bob’s Red Mill country. Whole grain flours, seeds, mixes, a major resource for NW bakers and cooks. I’m wondering if I can sub a cup of their Cornbread Muffin Mix in this recipe. Looks like I should be able to. Here’s a link (and I LOVE your blog — I’m not a Southerner, but I am from Southern WA so I figure that give me the right to “y’all” 🙂 ) https://www.bobsredmill.com/cornbread-muffin-mix.html Beth Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 12, 2018 at 4:42 pm I’m not sure about the Bob’s Red Mill mix, but here’s a link for a copycat Jiffy recipe. I’m not sure of the sugar content on the Bob’s so it would be hard to tell if it would end up the same. https://www.chowhound.com/recipes/jiffy-corn-muffin-mix-copycat-11549 December 27, 2018 at 5:03 pm Thanks for helping out! Kebra November 20, 2017 at 1:16 pm Can you makes this a day ahead and freeze it raw so that you can just bake it the day of? If so, how would you change time and temp to accommodate? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 20, 2017 at 2:34 pm I wouldn’t recommend that. This is one of those dishes that is pretty easy to put together and won’t take too much time to prep that day of. Reply Abby November 20, 2017 at 12:16 pm Oooh yum! How long should I bake this for on a 10 by 10 dish? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 20, 2017 at 2:35 pm The time should roughly be the same. Reply Brittany November 19, 2017 at 5:20 pm Hi just wondering, do I make the jiffy mix as directed on the box, like add the milk and eggs and then add the rest of the ingredients of your recipe? Or just put the dry mix in with the ingredients from Your recipe? Sorry if that’s a silly question. I’m terrible at anything related to making food! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 20, 2017 at 2:36 pm No worries! No, you just add the dry mix in the recipe. You don’t do anything per the box. Does that help? Reply Heather November 16, 2017 at 10:42 am Does it freeze well? Or can you prepare it ahead of time and freeze it without baking? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 16, 2017 at 1:53 pm I’ve honestly not frozen this, so I can’t answer positively. Maybe someone else can chime in with their experience. Reply Beth November 13, 2018 at 10:57 am I had the same question. I fear it might not freeze well because corn is very moist and the freezing might pull that moisture out and cause freezer burn. But it would be worth a try! Carbnqn October 8, 2017 at 2:31 pm Second time making this in 3 weeks and family and friends love it. I’m allergic to com so cannot eat it but they tell me it’s simple and delicious! Thank you. Reply Stacey LittleStacey October 11, 2017 at 11:35 am I hate that you can’t have it, but I’m glad to hear everyone else is enjoying it! 🙂 Reply Kim Quinn September 18, 2017 at 7:23 pm Wow! Made a double batch and added fresh ground black pepper, fresh sage and basil minced fine to the mix. Used corn fresh off the cob for the whole kernels. Filled and 9×13 beautifully! Took about 45-50 mins. Reply Stacey LittleStacey September 20, 2017 at 1:51 pm That sounds AMAZING!! Way to make it your own!

Reply Stacey LittleStacey April 8, 2017 at 4:36 pm This really ends up more like a casserole than bread, so I think a casserole dish would be best.

I’ve not done it that way, but I don’t see why not. 🙂 Reply Jackie Clonan November 8, 2019 at 9:25 am 5 starsI’d like to use the crock pot as well to avoid turkey temp being lower. How long would you say & low or high???? Thanks in advance and everyone have a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving! Make sure to stuff yourself! Gloria November 1, 2016 at 8:48 pm I love this.. Could this be made in a crock pot? Reply Tina M. Booker September 12, 2016 at 10:09 am The mother of a college boyfriend in Virginia used to make spoonbread on Fridays with fish. I always looked forward to going to his house for dinner. We would devour the spoonbread. It’s definitely a comfort food. Thank you so much for providing the recipe. I look forward to trying it soon. Hoping it turns out as delicious as I remember from those Friday fish dinners. Reply Stacey LittleStacey September 14, 2016 at 2:28 pm I hope it does, too! Enjoy! Reply Cathy September 2, 2016 at 9:38 am I made this before and everyone loved it. I’m planning on serving a lot more people then the 6-8 people the recipe will feed. Can I double this and if so do I double the cook time? Thanks for your help. Reply Stacey LittleStacey September 2, 2016 at 2:30 pm Yes, you can double it. I’d start by adding about 20 minutes, then checking it every 10 after that. Reply Mina mom August 30, 2016 at 5:18 pm Do yu need sour cream? Reply Stacey LittleStacey September 2, 2016 at 2:28 pm Yes, the recipe calls for 1 cup of sour cream. Reply Kristine July 10, 2016 at 5:21 pm My daughter is a vegetarian. Original box jiffy has lard in it, to call this dish vegetarian you need to use the vegitarian box jiffy. We make a very similar spoon cornbread recipe using this…only 2 eggs and no added salt and it is delicious! Reply Stacey LittleStacey July 10, 2016 at 7:35 pm Great advice, Kristine. Just curious, where did you see it labeled as vegetarian? Reply Mary STARNES May 30, 2016 at 8:00 pm I love this recipe but instead a caned corn I cut the corn off of three cobs. It add such a fresh taste. Reply Stacey LittleStacey May 31, 2016 at 10:07 am Sounds great, Mary! Reply Stephanie May 21, 2016 at 7:11 pm Just made this. Absolutely delicious, thank you. Came out with just enough pudding-like consistency but still firm if that makes sense. Reply Stacey LittleStacey May 23, 2016 at 4:36 pm Yes! Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it, Stephanie! Reply Betty May 17, 2016 at 8:22 am What is the name of your cook book Id’ like to look for it. Reply Stacey LittleStacey May 23, 2016 at 4:46 pm Thanks, Betty! It’s “The Southern Bite Cookbook.” Reply Marchal April 27, 2016 at 12:32 pm This sounds great but I’d like to know how to make this from scratch without using Jiffy. Can that be done and still come out the same? Reply Stacey LittleStacey May 4, 2016 at 12:11 pm Feel free to Google Jiffy Corn Mix recipe and you’re sure to find one that can replace the mix. It should work just fine. 🙂 Reply Marci March 27, 2016 at 2:25 pm Do you need to adjust cooking temp if you double the recipe? Reply Stacey LittleStacey March 28, 2016 at 10:01 am No need to adjust the temp, just the cooking time. I’m trying to double this recipe and put it in a 9×13 , do I cook it longer ?? And how much if so? frances August 31, 2015 at 9:34 pm Yum yum yummy Reply Carrie Shaw August 11, 2015 at 8:40 pm Although I am happy that you are successful in your book, this recipe is a very old farm recipe that I have had since the early 80’s and yours does not deferr from it, however, I wish you well in future endeavers Reply Stacey LittleStacey August 13, 2015 at 2:58 pm I guess it’s just one of those classic recipes that has been passed down through the generations. Thanks, Carrie! Reply Andrea July 24, 2015 at 12:44 pm do you think I can double this recipe and cook in 3 or 4 quart casserole dish? Have you ever tried? Don’t want to end up with a sloppy mess. Reply Stacey LittleStacey July 24, 2015 at 2:27 pm I’ve never tried, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time. Reply Bev July 23, 2015 at 4:28 pm Hi Stacy, I found a link for this recipe on another site and since I’ve enjoyed this wonderful Spoonbread at potlucks and other peoples homes I was thrilled to find the recipe. I can hardly wait to get it in my oven. I also want to thank you for the link to copycat version of Jiffy Cornbread Mix for times I don’t have it on hand (I can’t believe I just admitted that). This is my first time on your site. Reply Stacey LittleStacey July 24, 2015 at 9:42 am LOL! I’m so glad you found me! Welcome! I sure hope you’ll enjoy the spoonbread! Reply Nitu November 29, 2020 at 7:20 pm I’ve made this twice now, and while I love the taste, I have cooked it over an hour and it’s still soggy on the inside. How can I salvage this? Should it be like pudding or more extra-moist cornbread? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 29, 2020 at 8:24 pm It’s more pudding like. You can see the texture in the images here. Cathy June 11, 2015 at 6:40 pm This is our go to cornbread! We love it and make it every time we make chili. YUM YUM YUM! Thank you for sharing!

Reply Amanda Erb May 8, 2015 at 7:10 am Hi Stacey, This looks amazing and I’m going to try it for Mother’s Day. Question, can I substitute greek yogurt for the sour cream? Thanks! Reply Stacey LittleStacey May 28, 2015 at 9:15 am I’ve not done that, but I don’t see a reason it wouldn’t work. 🙂 Reply Sarah April 5, 2015 at 10:28 am Hi, do you cook this covered or uncovered?

I switch it up sometimes by adding a can of diced green chilies and always add cheddar cheese on top! Reply Stacey LittleStacey March 9, 2015 at 9:40 am Sounds like a delicious addition!

I made this a couple of weeks ago and found that the listed cooking time left me with a soggy and undercooked middle. I’m going to make it again today (because the done parts were sooo good) but was wondering if I should increase the cooking time or the temperature or both? Any suggestions would be great, thanks! Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 2, 2014 at 4:43 pm Hi Cherie! I made this a few times over Thanksgiving for different events and found that one time it wasn’t quite set and added a few extra minutes. The other times it turned out perfectly. Adding a few minutes should be sufficient. Reply gianna November 27, 2014 at 3:36 pm Am I supposed to follow the recipe on the box alng with the added things or just use the mix alone and the recipe you provided? Reply Stacey LittleStacey December 2, 2014 at 4:41 pm No, just follow my directions. Reply melissa November 27, 2014 at 6:57 am Looks delicious! Could I make this ahead of time and cook later?

Reply christine November 25, 2014 at 10:26 am Can I use two cans of cream style corn in lieu of the 1 can of whole kernel corn or would this change the chemistry somehow? I have made the recipe before and love it. I just need to hide the corn from my kids. 🙂 Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 25, 2014 at 4:13 pm I would just omit the whole kernel altogether. I’m afraid the extra moisture from the cream corn would throw it off. Reply Claudia November 25, 2014 at 9:42 am Hi. I just found this recipe and want to make it for thanksgiving!! Is this something that could be mixed ahead of time and put in the fridge until baking time? Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 25, 2014 at 9:53 am I wouldn’t suggest it for fear of it not getting the rise you’ll want. If you need to do it ahead of time, I would suggest cooking it and simply reheating it when it’s time to eat. Reply Jacquie November 24, 2014 at 5:04 pm This looks so delicious!!! I would love to make this for Thanksgiving, but with so many things going in the oven, is there any way that this can be cooked in a Slowcooker/Crock Pot? Thanks! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 25, 2014 at 9:51 am That’s a great idea, Jacquie, but not one I’ve tested. So I can’t say for sure that it will work. Reply bernadette November 24, 2014 at 3:05 pm Hello! I would love to make this for Thanksgiving. Any tips on how to make it ahead of time?? Would I just re-heat in the oven the morning of?

Reply Kelly November 6, 2014 at 7:52 pm Do you think it would be okay to prep this the day before and then just pop it in the oven? Trying to make Thanksgiving a little less stressful 🙂 This looks delicious! Reply Stacey LittleStacey November 12, 2014 at 5:49 pm I’d hate to steer you in the wrong direction, so my answer has to be… I’m just not sure. I’m just not sure that the leavening agents that are in the corn muffin mix would give you much rise after a couple hours. Reply Erin J October 31, 2014 at 12:16 pm I doubled the recipe for a party. How long would you say for the cooking time. It smells AMAZING in my home!!! Reply Stacey LittleStacey October 31, 2014 at 1:53 pm Erin, I’m just not sure. I’ve not doubled it, so I can’t be precise. I would start checking it at about 45 to 50 minutes. Reply Alexis @ Upside Down Pear October 30, 2014 at 9:36 am This sounds super delicious, and I’m planning on making it for Thanksgiving this year.

Reply Susan October 25, 2014 at 7:17 pm can this spoonbread be made into muffins? Would there be any changes to the recipe? Reply Stacey LittleStacey October 29, 2014 at 4:02 pm I think it would work well as muffins, the only adjustment would be the cooking time.

My copy of your cookbook arrived yesterday. I have been browsing through it trying to decide which recipe to try first. It is hard to choose from all the goodies. So many of them sound like my mother’s recipes (and now mine). Reply Stacey LittleStacey March 19, 2014 at 2:40 pm That wonderful, Joan. That’s just what I like to hear. Whatever it is you pick first, I hope you LOVE it! Reply Valorie D March 18, 2014 at 8:14 pm I make this same recipe, but with an added layer of goodness. I saute sliced Vidalia onions (about 3 large) in a stick of butter until soft, just short of carmelizing. Then, blend in 8 oz sour cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend) and 4 oz chopped green chiles. Spread this carefully on top of the cornbread mixture. Bake the same. Everyone always wants this recipe. Reply Roxanne March 18, 2014 at 7:55 pm I make this too! I also add cheese to the top the last few mins of cooking!

I would think you have 2 options. Bob’s Red Mill makes a nongmo cornbread mix that is very good. You want to be aware that Jiffy mix is 8.5oz.

Reply Brit September 4, 2020 at 1:00 am 5 starsI HATE corn bread! I hate how dry it is no matter what you do to it. It’s not the flavor..I love the sweetness but I hate the way it crumbles and leaves a pastiness in your mouth. BUT I LOVE THIS RECIPE!! My mom made this for me because she knew I hated corn bread and forced me to try it…I FELL IN LOVE!!!!! This is everything I knew corn bread had the potential to be! We do make some slight modifications but the recipe is amazing on its own. I personally do not like the cheddar cheese on top. It is misplaced. I use a cast iron pan and always double the recipe because you cant get enough! I mix the melted butter in with the recipe but I also put about a half stick of butter in the cast iron pan and put It in the oven to melt before I the batter. It gives it a crispier crust and you can never have too much butter! I made chili tonight for my brother in laws birthday and could not not make this corn bread to go with it! We also make this every year for Thanksgiving! I cannot help but love this! Stacey LittleStacey September 4, 2020 at 8:06 am So glad you’ve found something you enjoy!! Candie Johnson February 16, 2022 at 10:10 pm This recipe is absolutely AMAZING but I’m so angry right now that I didn’t see your comment before I made this tonight! Now I’m dreaming of the crispy edges I could have had from my cast iron skillet. I’m definitely going to try that next time. Thanks for the tip. Barbara Bradley
