JALAPENO-BACON SKILLET CORNBREAD



Jalapeno-Bacon Skillet Cornbread image

Doug Melkovitz thought he might be sitting on an award-winning recipe: His mother's cornbread was always a hit with friends, and he had improved on it with bacon and jalapenos. But entering a competition - and cooking for thousands - freaked him out and kept him from entering year after year. "What finally made me do it was coming up with a team," Doug says. He and friends Patrick Cowan and Cassie Toro formed a crew, Men Do It Batter With a Girl, and the trio took top honors.

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 slices bacon, finely chopped
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the skillet if needed
1/4 cup honey
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Put the bacon in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet; set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the skillet.
  • Add the diced onion to the hot skillet and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Transfer the onion and garlic to a separate plate and set aside. Keep the skillet over low heat.
  • Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, honey and jalapenos in another large bowl; add the onion and garlic and whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until combined (do not overmix).
  • Brush the bottom and side of the skillet with the fat left in it (add a pat or two of butter if there's not enough). Carefully add the batter (it should sizzle) and sprinkle the bacon evenly on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Provided by Jennifer Swartvagher

Yield 8 small slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1-2 jalapeno peppers (minced (use 2 for extra spiciness!))
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Use the vegetable oil to grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven to heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

  • Place the skillet immediately back into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is lightly brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.

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

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers, minced

Steps:

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.

JOHNNY JALAPENO'S TACO CORNBREAD SKILLET



Johnny Jalapeno's Taco Cornbread Skillet image

Cooking in a cast iron skillet is the true cowboy way and no one knows about cowboy cooking more than the famous outlaw, 'Johnny Jalapeno'! Rumor has it he was almost lynched by the famed McDaniel gang over this recipe. They shouted "This ain't no derned cowboy supper, ain't no beans in it!" Well, Johnny ran quick as lightning over to the campfire, and made another skillet supper, this time adding the last can of beans he had! Saved his life them beans did! ;) Also try Johnny's Recipe #266664.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix (Old El Paso is Johnny's favorite)
1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, drained well (or pinto or black beans)
1 cup kernel corn
1 (8 ounce) box corn muffin mix
1/3 cup 2% low-fat milk
1 egg
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons chopped jalapenos
1 cup monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 dollop sour cream
1 dollop guacamole

Steps:

  • Lightly grease the inside of an 10" cast iron skillet with a little butter. Place in oven and turn temperature to 450°F.
  • Meanwhile, cook beef (and onion if using) in a medium sized skillet. When almost done (drain if necessary), add seasoning mix, stirring to coat. Add beans and corn and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix corn muffin mix, milk, and egg until smooth. Add cheddar and jalapeno, mixing to combine. Carefully remove cast iron skillet from oven and spread dough into it, using the back of a wooden spoon (pan will be hot).
  • Spread beef and bean mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2" border. Bake uncovered 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with monterey jack cheese and bake an additional 2 minutes or until cheese is warm and melted. Top with garnishments, slice pie fashion and serve.

Tips:

  • For a spicier cornbread, use more jalapeños or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish.
  • Be sure to preheat the skillet or baking dish before adding the cornbread batter. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cornbread.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Skillet cornbread with jalapeños is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cornmeal and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this cornbread is sure to be a hit.
