Best boxed cornbread mix?

I like the sweetness

+1 I always buy a few boxes when it comes to Costco for the two weeks out of the year.

I have made it a few times for folks as part of a new baby meal (along with chili) and they all rave about it.

That's fine--but don't use it in stuffing.

We don't use cornbread for stuffing.

Yes- and don't buy ground corn. You can put dried kernels into a Vitamix and make your own.

+1. And don’t buy corn at the store. You can grow corn and harvest it in the fall then dry it to use all winter

+1 Just be aware that it's really important to use heirloom varieties when growing your corn from seed! Try this site: https://www.seedsavers.org/category/corn

+1- You never know what chemicals they use when they grow the corn. Now that we have the corn covered, make sure you churn your own butter, have hens to lay the eggs and you are good to make your own cornbread. Yum!

+ Don't forget the locally sourced salt and honey-you should be able to get them at your farmer's market if you don't have your own hive.

Wait -- you people are not throwing your own pots and carving your own cooking utensils? I knew something was off the moment I opened this thread.

Hahahaha this is great. I’m cracking up. Funniest thread ever.
I like the krusteaz mix best, I’m not proud. But please keep it rolling puritans!

You can mock it---but making cornbread from scratch is super easy. Just use the recipe on the corn meal. Just as easy as from a box.

IMO, the only ones to avoid are any brands they sell at whole foods. They are all heavy, over salted, not sweet, not good.

Cornbread isn't sweet. You're looking for corn cake.

And there is not best mix. Cornmeal, balking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk and eggs. It all needs to be super fresh and baked in a smoking hot cast iron pan, preferably with bacon grease. No wonder people in the north think they don't like cornbread. It's like saying you don't like pizza because you've only ever had it from the freezer section of the grocery store.

Southerner here, I completely agree!
