Cornbread casserole
Hey ya’ll! It’s Jessica here from @bigdeliciouslife back on Natasha’s feed with another recipe for you. It’s casserole week and I’ve got a cornbread casserole for you! You’ve probably seen this recipe before made with a box of jiffy and a can of creamed corn. I like to do it from scratch and it’s just as easy with a few simple ingredients. It has a moist, cake-like texture and a touch of sweetness from honey. It’s a perfect side for any meal and I love to make it during the holiday season. Head over to @bigdeliciouslife and follow me for more from scratch recipes!
