The Best Breakfast Casserole

December 28, 2015 by Laura Tucker 3 Comments

I am all about comfort foods. Most breakfast foods (sugary cereals and poptarts aside) are all comfort foods to me. I love warm and flaky biscuits, fluffy scrambled eggs, sweet honey or syrup, and I certainly love my cheese grits! If I’m going to be honest, I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. My family even loves to have breakfast for dinner! It’s not that often that I get to stop and actually cook breakfast during the week day, but I always look forward to the weekends when I sometimes get to indulge a little.

If us Southerners love anything besides those delicious breakfast items I just mentioned, it’s a good casserole. Casseroles are staple dishes. I can’t think of very many occasions where making a casserole isn’t appropriate. If I see a casserole in a buffet line, I’m having some of that! So years ago when my mother-in-law made this dish, I fell in love fast.  I’ve had a few different versions of “breakfast casseroles”, but this is the best breakfast casserole I’ve ever tasted. It’s simple, hearty, warm and oh so delicious!

The BEST breakfast casserole ever! This would make a great dish for brunch, too!

This dish is PERFECT to serve as breakfast in bed on birthdays, anniversaries, or during the holidays. It’s also really good reheated!

Here’s what you’ll need to make it:…

Super Simple Cornbread Casserole Recipe

October 31, 2015 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

There’s always that one dish at Thanksgiving dinner that you just CAN’T EVEN wait to stuff your face with. Some may say that’s true about almost everything on the table at Thanksgiving, and I’m over here raising my hand agreeing with you! But there’s usually that one that you KNOW you’ll be having seconds (or thirds,I won’t judge) of.

This casserole is that dish for me. When I think of comfort food, cornbread casserole is one of the first that comes to mind for me. It’s full of warm, creamy, and savory corn-tasticness that almost melts in your mouth. It’s SO simple to make, too! I usually always have the ingredients on hand, because I love to take this dish to church events and family gatherings. It’s always on my menu for Thanksgiving dinner, but it’s great any time of year. I’ve had several people ask me for this recipe, and I’m so happy to share it with y’all!

This is a MUST have on the dinner table during Thanksgiving! Simple Cornbread Casserole - made with Greek yogurt

Ingredients:

  • 1 Box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can cream style corn
  • 1/4 cup sugar (I use Stevia or Splenda)
  • 1 cup sour cream (I use Greek yogurt)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick spray
  2. Combine all ingredients and pour into dish
  3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until set
  4. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for something with a little spice, try adding a can of Mexican corn in place of the regular corn. You could even substitute Mexican cornbread in place of the Jiffy Mix!

Do you have a favorite dish during the holidays that you’re always SO excited to eat? I always love to hear others share what they MUST have during Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner!
