Zesty Cheddar and Green Chili Cornbread

"This is my recipe for cornbread and I think it is great! You can make this mild or spicy, it only depends on the heat level of your chilies. I buy the fire roasted mild green chilies which are very good. I also like to use sharp cheddar because I think that it is more flavorful. You can use regular or buttermilk, I prefer buttermilk as the cornbread comes out more moist. Enjoy! Be careful to mix this only until combined in order to avoid it getting tough."

directions

  • Stir together well flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat eggs, buttermilk, oil together until well mixed.
  • Add shredded cheddar and chilies to flour mixture and stir.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just mixed. Do not overmix as this will make tough cornbread.
  • I use a 9x9x2 in pan and bake for 27-35 minutes at 400°F, depending on your oven.
  • As another variation I like to add a half cup or so of roasted corn (drained) and cut back on the amount of chilies and cheese.
