Holly Cummings of Baytown, Texas writes, “I first made this recipe and took it to a church fellowship. One couple liked it so much they now call it “Holly Bread!”

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup butter, cubed
2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) cornbread/muffin mix
2 cups shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese

1 package (9 ounces) frozen broccoli cuts, thawed and drained
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
2 tablespoons canned jalapeno slices, chopped

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender; set aside. In a large bowl, combine cornbread mix and shredded cheese. In another bowl, beat the eggs, cottage cheese and onion mixture. Stir into cornbread mixture just until moistened. Fold in the broccoli, corn and jalapeno.
Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and edges pull away from sides of pan. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

I have made this several times from a Food Network Show recipe. It is really delicious and brings lots of compliments, both verbal and adding to the meal.
