Jalapeno Corn Bread

Bluegrass Winners, p. 270

1 cup yellow cornmeal

½ teaspoon soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

½ cup oil

1 cup sour cream

1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese

1 (17-ounce) can yellow cream-style corn

1 onion, chopped

2 to 5 Jalapeno peppers

1 clove garlic, minced

Combine all ingredients, mixing well. 

A colleague had given me some hot red chilies so I used those instead.


Pour into a greased 13” x 9” pan; bake at 400 for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut into 12 squares. This corn bread can be baked also in a 15” x 10” jellyroll pan and cut into small squares.

Ready for action!


We took most of the cornbread to a friend's house, but we saved some and had the leftovers as part of a nice little meal.



My Rating: 4/5 "As much as we all love sweet cornbread, the savory, spicy ones are the really memorable experiences. (As cornbread experiences go.) I might have cut ou the onions in this one, which make it a little too casserole-like. But they add nice flavor."
