JALAPENO-BACON SKILLET CORNBREAD

Doug Melkovitz thought he might be sitting on an award-winning recipe: His mother's cornbread was always a hit with friends, and he had improved on it with bacon and jalapenos. But entering a competition - and cooking for thousands - freaked him out and kept him from entering year after year. "What finally made me do it was coming up with a team," Doug says. He and friends Patrick Cowan and Cassie Toro formed a crew, Men Do It Batter With a Girl, and the trio took top honors.

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 slices bacon, finely chopped
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the skillet if needed
1/4 cup honey
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Put the bacon in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet; set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the skillet.
  • Add the diced onion to the hot skillet and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Transfer the onion and garlic to a separate plate and set aside. Keep the skillet over low heat.
  • Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, honey and jalapenos in another large bowl; add the onion and garlic and whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until combined (do not overmix).
  • Brush the bottom and side of the skillet with the fat left in it (add a pat or two of butter if there's not enough). Carefully add the batter (it should sizzle) and sprinkle the bacon evenly on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

JALAPENO, BACON AND CHEDDAR CORNBREAD

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cornmeal
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 strips center-cut applewood-smoked bacon
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded, deveined and finely diced
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces white Cheddar, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
  • Arrange the bacon strips flat in a single layer in the bottom of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until rendered and crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to one end of a paper-towel-lined plate to drain (save room for the jalapeno!). Add the jalapeno to the bacon drippings and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the jalapeno to the plate next to the bacon. Roughly chop the bacon and return to the plate.
  • Carefully remove 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the pan, leaving the rest. Keep the pan at the ready for baking the cornbread.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, oil and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet until completely incorporated. Mix in the Cheddar, bacon and jalapeno.
  • Using a pastry brush, spread the bacon drippings up the sides and around the bottom of the pan. Heat the pan over medium-low heat until the fat just starts to sizzle. Pour in the cornbread batter, allowing the heat to quickly set the bottom crust.
  • Put the pan into the oven and bake until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste the top crust with the butter. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.

CHEESY BACON JALAPENO SKILLET CORNBREAD



Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Skillet Cornbread image

After some trial and error, this is by far my favorite cornbread recipe. It's spicy, moist, and the cast iron skillet gives it a lovely crispy brown crust, plus bacon! Also I love that it doesn't use buttermilk because I hate buying it just for cornbread. And it's gluten-free.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup skim milk
¾ cup gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese, divided
5 green onions, chopped

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. There are two main types of cornmeal: fine and coarse. Fine cornmeal makes a softer, more delicate cornbread, while coarse cornmeal gives a more rustic, heartier texture. For this recipe, we recommend using a medium-grind cornmeal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will create a crispy crust and a tender interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This jalapeno bacon cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish. It's perfect for any occasion, from casual weeknight dinners to holiday feasts. Serve it with your favorite main course, or enjoy it as a snack on its own. You can also try different variations of this recipe, such as adding cheese, green onions, or chopped tomatoes.
