An Easy And Inexpensive Recipe

I make this recipe right in the casserole dish so there is literally no cleanup.
The ingredients are refrigerator and pantry items most people have on hand. A box of cornbread mix costs less than a dollar and in some stores even under .50 cents.
Cornbread pudding is a holiday staple at our house and the leftovers are super simple to heat and serve.

Ingredients

Cornbread or Corn Muffin Mix – I always use Jiffy brand, mostly because it’s a tradition but also because it’s much less expensive than the other brands.

Frozen Corn – you can substitute canned corn, in fact that’s what my Mom always used. I always have frozen corn in my freezer so I choose to use it.

Preheat oven to 350°
Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Beat the eggs, and add them to the butter sour cream mixture.
Add both the can of cream corn and the fully thawed frozen corn.
Add 1 ounce of bourbon and stir.
Add the box of dry cornbread and mix completely.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
As soon as the casserole is out of the oven, while it’s still hot, brush the top with 1 ounce of bourbon.
