Krusteaz Southern Cornbread & Muffin Mix, 11.5 OZ

Hands down the best cornbread mix I've ever tried & I've tried a bunch. I read this Southern variety didn't have much sugar so I was excited to try it since every other mix is too sweet. This is perfect!! Especially if you want to add savory ingredients like jalapenos & cheese. The bread is light & moist—not dry like so many corn breads. I greased my muffin tins & dusted with cornmeal.

I bought a box of the Southern Cornbread mix today to have with chili. I haven't made it yet, but have been reading the reviews. "Too sweet" or "Perfect!" seem to be the opinions here, with more saying perfect. I,too, live in the South and am here to tell you, sometimes cornbread is sweet and other times it isn't! Every home baker and restaurant cook has a recipe, and really, they're usually all fine. Since I've had BOTH many times, I don't think it's accurate to say true Southern cornbread is not sweet.....because sometimes, it IS!

I went out on a limb when I bought the southern style mix, as I usually go for the honey. They are wonderful as muffins, perfectly portioned, but are not on the sweet side at all. I think this product would be a perfect match for a chili or stew as they are a more salty/hearty flavor. This is a bemread/muffin mix that I will continue to buy, dies not disappoint. Perfect option for a non-sweet cornbread.

Love using the skillet method and we add drained Rotel and Shredded cheese and onions - it's simple easy and the family loves this version -

I just found this cornbread after years of trying from scratch and using jiffy (doesn’t rise). This cornbread reminds me of my mother’s and grandmother’s cornbread from years ago.

I live in Alabama and I'm here to tell ya. This IS real southern cornbread. Great taste, wonderful texture. The only thing I do different then the instructions is put in 3 eggs instead of 2.

Reminds me of my grandmother’s cornbread. I add a quarter cup of sugar to the batter, bake it for 22 minutes at 375 in a pre-heated cast-iron skillet (which I melt a pat of butter in before I pour in the batter), then change the oven to broil and leave it in for an additional minute to get a nice browned top. After serving I use a little honey butter and YUMMY!

I see why it is rated the best. Very very good taste and easy to make. My first time trying it, I will be buying more.

I was disappointed in this product. I've used their blueberry muffin mix and it was good. This was very bland.

Best cornbread ever! Love it! Very easy to make, tast delicious!

With the distance between Seattle and Atlanta being close to 3,000 miles, it’s not surprising that these people have no idea what Southern Cornbread is. Everyone in the South knows that you don’t make cornbread with sugar! Krusteaz seems to have a myriad of cornbread mixes in the grocery store, ALL of which are full of sugar. It’s almost impossible to tell them apart. Why do they bother to call this one “Southern “cornbread when it doesn’t even pretend to be from the South? It’s an insult to Southerners. They should just go ahead and change its name to.””Sugar Bread” and stop insulting our Southern heritage. True Southern cornbread is savory. Not sweet. Period.

I'm not exactly sure which version of the Krusteaz cornbread my wife bought but in baking diced up and added a couple of Jalapenos from our garden. I thought it was excellent and have had it for the last couple days. Twice with just some milk poured on it and today for lunch with fruit salad atop the cornbread. I think Krusteaz beats the other cornbread mixes hands down. Next baking will be with blueberries from the garden.

Why? Because thats what my mom used of course! As I get older my palate has continued to develop. Over the past 6-8years or so I have gotten less and less fond of jiffy, but considering the only time I use cornmeal is for cornbread it isn't worth it to me to buy it every time I make cornbread as I only make it a handful of times each year. So I went on the hint for another box mix I could stomach. Jiffy was what I grew up on as my mother isn't fond of cooking and openly refers to herself as a "box cook" meaning everything always starts with a box/can, or frozen package that only needs basic things added... Stuff like hamburger/tuna helper etc... I only the other hand have a love for cooking but not the time I wish I had to do so, so I cut corners where I can and focus on the main aspects of the meal... Usually the protein and vegetable dishes. So long story short I have tried every cornbread mix available to me and Krusteaz is by far the best tasting and preferred texture for us. I don't like the type of cornbread that crumbles apart and sticks to your throat going down.... It always makes me cough at some point unless I use it to soak up broth or something. So for us this stuff is awesome! We love the soft moist consistency and the different styles to make either a savory or sweet cornbread depending. The kids love the southern style with some diced jalapeños and cheese thrown in, sometimes corn too with a pot of beans or 15bean soup... Or the honey style for something sweet with spicy food like chili.... Its worth the cost difference to us to get this brand and I will continue to buy it! We all love it.

Cook this for Father’s Day. My husband said it was the best he ever had!!

It was easy to make and clear directions. Tasted great too. I love cornbread with chili. My favorite way to eat it is cut in the middle with butter and lots of honey.

My mother is a very D.I.Y. Person especially when it comes to the kitchen and I learned everything I know about baking from my mother and grandmother. My moms made some Chili and no cornbread so I grabbed this because I use all of their other products there some diced jalapeños,fire roasted corn & cheese in it and bam ret to go my mom grabs a slice with her chili and I lie and say it’s home made and she took one bite and couldn’t stop telling me how delicious it was and how it rivaled her corn bread ( HUGE COMPLIMENT) just saying !!

This was soooo easy to make! It has a really nice consistency and almost tastes like homemade. This is a very cost effective cornbread mix. I make cornbread often and this one is one of my favorites to purchase.

Mmmmm mmmm! This is the best cornbread mix around! Add a little extra butter and bam you have the perfect match to a nice bowl of chili!

This is my favorite product for baking corn bread its really good and delicious theres nothing to improve as of right now its GREAT!!!! Love itttt 😻

This was the best box cornbread mix I have ever bought. It was super easy to make. Very moist and slightly crumbly. In my opinion it was absolutely perfect. Just the way southern cornbread should be. Highly recommend. [product:krusteaz-southern-cornbread-&-muffin]
