1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup fresh corn kernels
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups stone-ground cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornbread mix: Not all cornbread mixes are created equal. For the best results, choose a mix that is made with stone-ground cornmeal and has a fine texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the package of cornbread mix.
  • Let the cornbread cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the cornbread from crumbling.
  • Serve the cornbread warm or at room temperature: Cornbread is best served warm or at room temperature. If you are serving it cold, you can warm it up in the microwave or oven.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Cornbread is a versatile food that can be customized to your liking. Try adding cheese, bacon, jalapeños, or other ingredients to the batter.

Conclusion:

Cornbread Chex Mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or party food. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it is also a fun and creative way to enjoy this classic Southern dish.
