Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 whole egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/2 onion, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
  • Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Fold in the cheese. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, melt the shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
  • In an iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the veggies. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)

CHEESY BACON JALAPENO SKILLET CORNBREAD



Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Skillet Cornbread image

After some trial and error, this is by far my favorite cornbread recipe. It's spicy, moist, and the cast iron skillet gives it a lovely crispy brown crust, plus bacon! Also I love that it doesn't use buttermilk because I hate buying it just for cornbread. And it's gluten-free.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup skim milk
¾ cup gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese, divided
5 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place bacon in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Spread the grease up the sides of the skillet using a paper towel.
  • Cook jalapeno peppers in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornmeal and skim milk together in a bowl; let sit until some of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix eggs and butter into cornmeal mixture; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moist. Fold jalapeno peppers, 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese, and green onions into batter. Pour batter into the cast iron skillet; crumble bacon over top and sprinkle remaining cheese over bacon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn, jalapeños, and cheese will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you can, use corn that is in season.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease the pan well: This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking.
  • Bake the cornbread at a high temperature: This will give it a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Cheesy jalapeño cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great snack or appetizer. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at your next party, cheesy jalapeño cornbread is sure to be a hit.
