JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD



Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread image

Very easy, savory cornbread recipe using jiffy cornbread mix. Can add 1/4 cup sliced green onions if desired. If you don't like too much spice, add less jalapenos! I actually use a whole 4 ounce can of jalapenos! I always use mini muffin tins. If mixture is too thick, use a splash of milk to thin it out. I live at high altitude, so I add 2 tablespoons flour. Recipe edited to include milk.

JALAPENO, BACON AND CHEDDAR CORNBREAD



Jalapeno, Bacon and Cheddar Cornbread image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 strips center-cut applewood-smoked bacon
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded, deveined and finely diced
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces white Cheddar, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Arrange the bacon strips flat in a single layer in the bottom of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until rendered and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to one end of a paper-towel-lined plate to drain (save room for the jalapeno!). Add the jalapeno to the bacon drippings and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapeno to the plate next to the bacon. Roughly chop the bacon and return to the plate.
  • Carefully remove 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the pan, leaving the rest. Keep the pan at the ready for baking the cornbread.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, oil and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet until completely incorporated. Mix in the Cheddar, bacon and jalapeno.
  • Using a pastry brush, spread the bacon drippings up the sides and around the bottom of the pan. Heat the pan over medium-low heat until the fat just starts to sizzle. Pour in the cornbread batter, allowing the heat to quickly set the bottom crust.
  • Put the pan into the oven and bake until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste the top crust with the butter. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.

TACO SOUP WITH JALAPEñO-CHEDDAR CORNBREAD MUFFINS



Taco Soup with Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins image

This taco soup is a marriage of soup and chili in the best way possible. Ground beef and fresh chorizo get browned and simmered with chili powder, cumin and paprika until fragrant. Then fire-roasted tomatoes and mild green chiles are stirred in for a Tex-Mex twist. Quickly whip up jalapeño and Cheddar cornbread muffins to serve on the side, and top with sour cream, cilantro and some diced avocado for a hearty, family-friendly meal.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings; makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 32

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 large jalapeño, minced
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, finely diced (about 1/4-inch dice)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound 80% lean ground beef chuck
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red or orange bell pepper, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
Two 15.5-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Two 4-ounce cans diced mild green chiles
Diced avocado, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and generously spray 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl. Fold the cornmeal mixture, jalapeños and Cheddar into the buttermilk mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some small lumps).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 9 greased muffin cups. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then run an offset spatula around the edges of each muffin and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For the taco soup: While the muffins bake, make the taco soup. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and green chiles, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer, partially covered, until the meat and beans are very tender and the sauce thickens slightly, 35 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, sour cream and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins.

BACON-JALAPENO-CHEDDAR CORNBREAD



Bacon-Jalapeno-Cheddar Cornbread image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray or neutral oil, for greasing the muffin cups
6 slices bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 jalapeno, seeded and very finely diced
1/2 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally grease 12 muffin cups or mini cast-iron skillets with cooking spray or oil.
  • Put the bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Set the bacon aside to cool on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop finely. Reserve the grease in the skillet for the glaze.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, oil, whole egg and egg yolk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the cheese, jalapeno and reserved bacon until just incorporated.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the edges are crispy and the tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: While the cornbread bakes, prepare the glaze. In the skillet that you cooked the bacon in, add the bourbon to the saved fat and bring to a boil (the bourbon may flame!). Add the honey and stir. Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
  • When the cornbread is out of oven and still hot, brush the glaze on the tops of each muffin.

BACON CHEDDAR AND JALAPENO CORNBREAD



BACON CHEDDAR AND JALAPENO CORNBREAD image

Categories     Bread     Pork     Side

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 strips Maple Leaf Bacon
1 ½ cups Cornmeal
½ cup All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
3 tbsp Sugar
2 Jalapenos
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Eggs
1 ½ cups Sour Cream

Steps:

  • 1. First thing we've gotta do is fry up our bacon. Cut it up into nice small pieces - as big as you want them in your cornbread muffins. 2. While your bacon is frying, measure out your cornmeal, flour, baking powder and sugar into a nice big mixing bowl. 3. Cut your jalapenos in half and seed them 4. Then cut them up nice and evenly. Although I cut up 3 jalapenos, I only used 2 in the recipe. Didn't want to make them too spicy! 5. Add in your jalapenos along with about ¾ of your shredded cheddar cheese. 6. Dump in your sour cream and eggs and begin to mix everything together gently. 7. By this time, your bacon should be crispy, so dump all of it in along with the fat from the pan. Make sure that it has cooled slightly and that you've mixed In the egg a bit already. We don't want the hot fat to cook the eggs! Scrambled eggs in cornbread is bad! 8. Portion your batter into a greased muffin tin and top with a little bit of remaining cheddar cheese. 9. Bake at 450F for about 10-12 minutes.

JALAPENO CHEDDAR PARMESAN CORNBREAD MUFFINS



JALAPENO CHEDDAR PARMESAN CORNBREAD MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Cheese     Egg     Appetizer     Side     Bake     Picnic     Super Bowl     Buffet     Spring     Summer

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons honey
2 large eggs
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced, plus more for topping
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
1/2 cup shredded cheddar, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. (If you don't want to use paper liners, you could coat a muffin pan with cooking spray instead.) In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper, to taste. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the butter, buttermilk, honey and eggs. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Add the jalapeño, Parmesan and cheddar and gently toss to combine. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Top with sliced jalapeno, using your fingertips to gently press the jalapeno into the batter. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cheddar. Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh corn kernels, buttermilk, and cheese will give your cornbread the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help the cornbread to rise and cook evenly.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno cheddar cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and it is also a good source of fiber and protein. Whether you are serving it at a potluck, a barbecue, or a family dinner, this cornbread is sure to be a hit.
