Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound Chorizo, removed from casing
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream or yogurt
1 (8-ounce) can creamed corn
4 fresh Anaheim chiles, fire-roasted, peeled, and chopped
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped or 1 (4-ounce) can green chiles chopped
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Crumble and fry the Chorizo in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes to render some of the fat. Put the sausage meat and 3 tablespoons of the fat in a large bowl. Add the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, eggs, sour cream, corn, chiles, and 1 1/4 cps of the cheese. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole, 9 by 9-inch baking dish, or 10-inch heavy skillet. Spoon in the cornbread batter. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the cornbread turns golden and smells wonderful. Serve hot.

This cornbread is the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be making it again and again.

I'm not a big fan of cornbread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, I could eat it every day.

This cornbread is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili next time.

I added some chopped green chiles to this cornbread and it gave it a nice kick. I also used a spicy chorizo, which made it even better.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cornbread turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This cornbread is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use all sorts of different chiles and chorizos to change up the flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cornbread. But I'm so glad I did! This cornbread is amazing. It's moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

I've made this cornbread several times now, and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover chili and chorizo.

This cornbread was a hit at my party! It was moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice from the chiles and chorizo. I'll definitely be making it again.
