A Little Different Broccoli Cornbread
- 1 cup butter (most recipes only call for 1/2 cup, so I'm sure you could cut it down if that much fat makes you que) or 1 cup margarine (most recipes only call for 1, so I'm sure you could cut it down if that much fat makes you queasy)
- 2 (8 1/2 ounce) packages Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 10 ounces ricotta cheese
