Best 3 Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread Recipes

CHEESY JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Fold in the cheese. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, melt the shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
• In an iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the veggies. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)
• Cook for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes.

PULLED PORK SKILLET WITH CHEESY JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare the cornbread batter according to the package directions (do not bake).
• Combine the pork, beans and 3/4 cup water in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Spread the cornbread batter over the mixture and lightly press the peppers into the batter. Cook over medium-high heat until the pork mixture is bubbling around the sides, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until the peppers are golden and the batter is cooked through, about 24 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve warm.

CHEESY BACON JALAPENO SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Spread the grease up the sides of the skillet using a paper towel.
• Cook jalapeno peppers in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornmeal and skim milk together in a bowl; let sit until some of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix eggs and butter into cornmeal mixture; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moist. 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.
