| I have a pouch of that cheap corn bread muffin mix. Anything I can add to make it better? It’s just for men who will be eating chili, so I don’t know how much it matters, but I thought I’d try. |

| Canned creamed corn? Bacon bits? Jalapeños? Kerrygold butter? |

| Cheese, green chiles. |

Do you add the butter to the mix, or just include it on the side for spreading? |

Browned butter.
This recipe is great; could adapt to muffins. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016965-brown-butter-skillet-cornbread |

| They won't care they will be happy don't trouble yourself. The most effort I'd add is a little cheese on top that's it. |

+1. Most people like that cheap mix as is. |

| Minced jalapeno and grated sharp cheddar into the mix, then sprinkle a little grated sharp cheddar on top before baking. |

Is the chili spicy?
Offset it with honey into the cornbread - salty/sweet combo is always popular |

Both. I’m not familiar with your mix — and what you need to add, but if you’re adding some sort of fat, use one with better quality and flavor. If it doesn’t require added oil or butter, I’d still add a tiny bit for flavor. |

| Jiffy? Just make it as it. I like muffins because they’re easier to portion out but make plenty of them and most men will want two or three with the chili. |

I haven’t tried it myself, but I just recently saw a video using Cheez Whiz. If you’re feeling adventurous you could give it a try.
