11. I use Martha White (also marketed as White Lily) white cornmeal cornbread mix

It makes a perfect small skillet of cornbread.

My mom used to use self rising cornmeal to make her cornbread; it is essentially a mix. I grew up eating cornbread and have made it for years, but I have never made it without a mix or self rising cornmeal.

It really isn't difficult at all. You can bake it in an iron skillet, or make muffins. You are going to crumble it up anyway.

How were your deviled eggs a disaster?

After all this, I have used StoveTop cornbread dressing mix if I was making Thanksgiving for 2 and it is pretty good.

My mom used to put onions, celery, chicken broth, bits of chicken, and an egg in hers along with stale crumbled up cornbread and a few crumbled biscuits. After she mixed it all up, she shaped it into little mounds and baked it that way.
