Ingredients

1 cup salted butter melted
1 cup sugar
14.75 ounces cream style corn (1 can)
4 eggs
4 ounces chopped green chilis
1 cup fiesta or Mexican blend shredded cheese
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow corn flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with vegetable oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until well blended.
1 cup salted butter, 1 cup sugar
Add the corn, eggs, and green chiles. Stir the cheese into the mixture.
14.75 ounces cream style corn, 4 eggs, 4 ounces chopped green chilis, 1 cup fiesta or Mexican blend shredded cheese
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, corn flour, baking powder, and salt.
1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup yellow corn flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just blended.
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for one hour. When done, it will be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread should come out clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Put your own spin on this recipe by switching up the ingredients. Add jalapeño peppers for more heat, or substitute bell peppers if you want less. You can also use pepper jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, or any other favorite cheese and add cooked crumbled bacon or chopped green onions.

If you have a cast iron skillet, you can use it to bake your cornbread instead of the baking dish. The skillet cornbread will have a delicious golden crust on the outside. Grease the skillet with butter to prevent your cornbread batter from sticking.
