Broccoli Cornbread
- 1 box Sweet Cornbread Mix (Jiffy)
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
- 8 ounces, weight Chopped Broccoli
- 8 ounces, weight Cottage Cheese (you Won't Know It's In There)
- 1 can Ro*tel Tomatoes
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 1 stick Butter
- 1-1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Divided
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- It's best to bake this cornbread in a large cast iron skillet. It may also work in a 9x13 baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Begin by placing a stick of butter in the skillet. Let the butter melt in the preheated oven.
- Meanwhile, place cornbread mix, onion, broccoli, cottage cheese, Rotel tomatoes, beaten egg, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese in a large bowl and mix.
- The mixture will seem a bit dry, but that's ok!
- Pour cornbread mixture on top of melted butter in the cast iron skillet.
- Let cornbread bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, top with remaining shredded cheese and let the cheese melt.
- This recipe is versatile. Sometimes I add corn to the mix, and adjust the salt and pepper, etc. I love it best served alongside a plate of vegetables.
- This is a quick and easy alternative to plain or Mexican cornbread.
