The whole family is going to love this Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread! Moist cornbread full of chopped broccoli and cheddar cheese. It starts with a cornbread mix so it’s really easy AND really delicious.
Cheesy broccoli cornbread was my favorite thing that my mom made when I was little. I love cornbread of all kinds but it’s even better with broccoli and cheddar cheese inside.
This recipe starts with a cornbread mix (so it’s easy!) and uses sour cream to keep it super moist.
If you have a picky eater who won’t touch broccoli but enjoys cornbread, try this! All 3 of my boys have loved it their entire lives.
Ingredients
- Butter – melted and cooled slightly.
- Sweet cornbread mix – I used Jiffy because it’s my go to but any 8.5 ounce box of sweet cornbread mix will work.
- Onion
- Eggs
- Cheddar cheese
- Sour cream – this makes the cornbread super moist.
- Salt
- Frozen broccoli cuts – you could use a bag of florets but the broccoli cuts are cheaper and it all tastes the same baked into cornbread!
How To Make Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread
- Combine. Mix together melted butter, cornbread mix, onion, eggs, cheese, sour cream, salt, and broccoli.
- Transfer. Transfer batter to a prepared 8×8-inch pan.
- Bake. Bake at 425F for 40 minutes.
- Cool. Cool before slicing and serving.
Variations
- If you like spice, try using pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar!
How Long Is It Good For?
Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread will be good for up to 2 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
Can You Freeze It?
You can freeze this cornbread for up to 3 months. I like to wrap each piece indiviudally in plastic wrap and then put all the pieces in a freezer ziploc bag.
When you are ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a couple hours.
