Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ears corn (still in the husk)
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 fresh jalapenos, diced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick salted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the corn from the husks. In a large, deep bowl, slice off the kernels of corn with a sharp knife. Turn the knife to the dull side and scrape the cob all the way down to remove all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside. (I do this inside the bowl because it goes everywhere if you cut it on a board.)
  • Add the red bell peppers, jalapenos, heavy cream, milk, salt to taste, a generous amount of pepper and butter and mix it well. Pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake until thoroughly warmed through, 30 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter cornbread, use white cornmeal instead of yellow cornmeal. You can also add 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • To make the cornbread moister, add 1/2 cup of buttermilk to the batter. You can also use sour cream or yogurt instead of buttermilk.
  • To add a little spice to the cornbread, add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the batter. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped jalapenos.
  • To make the cornbread more savory, add 1/2 cup of chopped bacon or sausage to the batter. You can also add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese.
  • To make the cornbread sweeter and more decadent, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or raisins to the batter.
  • Be sure to grease your baking pan well before pouring in the batter. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
