I'm not a fan of cooked bell peppers, but I still enjoyed this cornbread. The sweetness of the corn and the sharpness of the cheddar cheese balanced out the flavor of the peppers nicely.

I found that this cornbread was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would omit the red pepper flakes next time.

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.
