But Jiffy has a vegetarian version!

I know and that’s what triggered me to check the ingredients on the regular version. A family member made this at every family event, mostly for me, thinking it was vegetarian. They don’t sell the vegetarian version in her area though so I get to eat plain bread at these events now.

Make the cornbread and have it be your thing made the way you like it. It's not exactly hard.

I think Krutzees sells a boxed sweet cornbread mix, I’d try that before adding cake mix to cornbread mix. As soon as the cornbread is out of the oven, you could poke holes on the top with a toothpick, and brush on a mix of equal parts melted butter and honey to add a little more sweetness.

Vanilla cake can taste less sweet than a lot of cornbreads! So I don’t know that adding it would bump the sweetness factor, but it would
dilute the cornmeal taste and texture which is what makes cornbread so delicious.

If you can find the Marie calendars mix that is the closest to the sweeter lighter version they sell at restaurants.

I do love the corn pudding version but would skip the solid corn since some people don’t like that. Man, that is so good with the sour cream and the creamed corn. Yum.

But if you must I googled the fake mix recipe

Make it with creamed corn. In Florida people did that. But never cake mix

I love the finer grain used in corn bread. It's the new thing for work parties and now I know how everyone is making it.

I do the savory version with canned corn/creamed corn/sour cream each year for Thanksgiving, Xmas, and Easter so I wanted something different like the sweeter version like you get at restaurants. There are so many versions on line, I guess I will just pick one. I may use 1/2 the bag of cake mix and reduce the wet ingredients a bit.

Let us know how it turns out. I get what you mean about the good stuff at restaurants being sweet.

It came out just ok, I used 1/2 of the vanilla cake mix and 2 boxes of Jiffy bc I think the full cake mix would have been way too much. But my mother-in-law showed up with cornbread made with the Krusteaz mix that someone else suggested, and it was better than what I made with the Jiffy/cake mix (it was definitely sweeter than the Jiffy mix).

Just add a can of creamed corn to it and an extra box of mix.

Simply Homemade is the best boxed cornbread mix. Plenty sweet but the first ingredient is still cornmeal.

I don’t understand using a cake mix. All boxed cornbread mixes are very sweet already.

Both are gross and I cannot imagine the disgusting bake that would result. Ugh.

Thanks for reporting back. I really hate those Krusteaz mixes in general and they dominate supermarket choices (those and the disgusting Kodiak ones). I tend to do all from scratch but nice to hear of backup mixes that are tried and true.

Did I miss where she said it needs to be vegetarian?

Right ?

These are savory, not sweet, and I haven’t made them, so I have no idea how they actually turn out, but here are four cornbread variations based on box mixes that I’ve seen on Youtube.

Cheese Whiz

Ranch Dressing

Sloppy Joe

Enchilada Sauce

Or you could bring something you and everyone else can eat?

Or Amazon the vegetarian to their house and make it when you get there.

It's not my house, and it's too far to make at home and bring it. I just accept it's a meal where I don't eat much.
