Categories     Bread     Side     Bake     Super Bowl     Lunch     Casserole/Gratin     Sausage     Cornmeal     Corn     Hot Pepper     Jalapeño     Sour Cream     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the cornbread will taste. This is especially true for the cornmeal, which should be fresh and coarsely ground.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: This will help the cornbread rise and develop a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving: This will help the cornbread set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, honey, and chili.

Conclusion:

Chorizo pepper cornbread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, cheesy or not, this cornbread is sure to be a hit.
