MOM'S MEXICAN CORNBREAD



Mom's Mexican Cornbread image

Provided by Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup self-rising cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1 (14.75-ounce) can cream style corn
2 eggs well beaten
1 large onion, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can sliced jalapenos, drained (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Add the vegetable oil to the bottom of a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • While the oven and skillet preheat, brown the ground beef then drain the grease away.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, buttermilk, cream style corn, and beaten eggs until well mixed.
  • Once the skillet is hot (a pinch of cornmeal sprinkled in the skillet will sizzle when it's ready), pour half of the batter into the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle the ground beef, chopped onion, and jalapenos over the batter. (The jalapenos are optional and the cornbread is just as tasty without them. Mom always made it without them when I was a kid.) Sprinkle the cheese over the other ingredients then top with other half of the batter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the pan before flipping out onto a serving plate.

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 cup self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self rising flour
2 eggs
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 (8 3/4 ounce) can corn niblets, drained
water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Mix ingredients well, with just enough water to mix.
  • Pour into oiled iron skillet. Bake until done, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn has a sweeter, more flavorful taste than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn is a good substitute.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread hold its shape when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Mexican cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, flavorful crumb and crispy crust, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a tasty side dish, give Mexican cornbread a try!
