Cheese/Garlic/Corn Muffins

I had some bean with ham soup in the crockpot and got to thinking that some cornbread would go good with that.  I didn't have any Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, but I did have this:
I decided to start with this and make some muffins. 

The only thing the directions called for was a cup of water, but I did not follow the directions.  I added one egg, a quarter cup of milk and about 2/3 a cup of creamed corn.  I made eleven muffns and baked for about ten minutes. 

They turned out very good,, but next time I would add some cheese to it.  I plan to pick up more packages of this (I think I got this one at the DOLLAR TREE, but maybe not)
