This is a recipe my mother gave me. It is so simple, moist, and delicious. At least we like it. I have no idea where she came across it, I think a friend gave it to her. You can make this as spicy as you want, add more or less jalapeno peppers to the recipe.

I just threw a few things together tonight, wanting a cornbread mixture that was different than any other night. This went over very well. You can adjust the heat level to your liking. I served this w/ turnip greens and a bit of veal. Yum!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 box jiffy cornbread mix, or your favorite
1/2 c egg substitute, or 2 large eggs
2/3 c evaporated milk (or less, depending)
1 can(s) glory southern style skillet corn w/ onion and bacon (slightly drained)
2 Tbsp dried jalapeno (found @ specialty stores), or 1/2-3/4c jalapeno (pickled, roughly chopped)
2 c sargento artisan mexican cheese blend, or your favorite

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a med.-large bowl, mix cornbread, egg, milk, corn, jalapeno, and cheese.
3. Pour evenly into greased muffin tins. Bake 15-20 minutes. If making a loaf, I would suggest a larger pan, as the cook time can be extensive.

Tips:

Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn on the cob is the best option, but frozen corn will also work. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, honey, sour cream, and chili.

Conclusion:

Spicy Mexican cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly spicy flavor and moist, tender texture, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and unique side dish, give this spicy Mexican cornbread a try!
