I made the corn bread in my cast iron skillet and it came out perfect. Very moist and delicious. Definitely a keeper. I used chopped green peppers but the next time I will use a can of green chilis instead as a matter of taste. I may also slightly increase the cheese. Thanks for sharing a great easy recipe.

Very good recipe. I thought it was a little too sweet; next time I am going to half the sugar. Also, the recipe does not call for any salt, and you have to add salt when using flour, so I added 1 tsp of salt. I like spicy, so I substituted the green pepper with two seeded chopped chipotle peppers (canned in adobo sauce), and that gave the cornbread a wonderful smokey heat. I will certainly make this again.
