This is a recipe I got from my mom. Not sure where she got it but it's so good! It's a mix of cornbread, onions, sour cream, and cheese, with a little bit of dill and hot sauce if you feel like it.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix (such as Jiffy®)

  • 1 cup creamed corn

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • 1 egg
