FAQs
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and pour it into the baking dish, then cover and refrigerate it overnight before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Can I substitute the Jiffy mix with homemade cornbread mix?
Absolutely. Homemade cornbread mix works well, but be sure to adjust the baking powder and flour quantities to match the consistency of the Jiffy mix for best results.
