Jiffy Mexican Cornbread
"This easy Jiffy Mexican cornbread recipe includes creamed corn, zesty jalapeño peppers, fresh chives, and sharp cheddar cheese for a moist, flavorful side dish that’s perfect with a warm bowl of chili! A Few Notes Before You Get Started: - You only need the small (8.25 ounce) can of creamed corn (also called “cream-style corn”). If you can’t find the small can, purchase a regular 14.75 ounce can and just use about half of it in the recipe. - To serve a larger group, double all of the ingredients (using the larger 14.75 ounce can of creamed corn) and bake the cornbread in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. You’ll likely need to increase the total baking time by 5-10 minutes as well. - If you don’t have a fresh jalapeño pepper on hand, you can substitute with the jarred version. Just make sure that you pat the jarred slices dry with a paper towel and chop them into smaller pieces before mixing them into the batter. - This cornbread isn’t very spicy at all, so long as you remove the ribs and the seeds from the pepper. If you prefer a spicier Mexican cornbread, leave some of those seeds and ribs intact. You can also add extra jalapeño if you like!"
