My review
Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread
Steve de Eyre
"This is the result of combining a number of my favorite cornbread recipes. The first time I made it, I had people begging for the recipe. The problem was that it didn't exist, as I had just improvised it as I went along. Here's my attempt to put it down in words."

Ready In
- Fry bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve remaining bacon grease in skillet. Crumble bacon.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place skillet with bacon grease in oven.
- Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Fold in Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Pour batter into hot skillet and sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- If you have a large cast-iron skillet, use it for this! Otherwise you can use a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Having a hot skillet with bacon grease to pour the batter into will give the cornbread a good crispy outside and add bacon flavour.

I made this tonight. It turned out great. I made one change and omitted 1/2 cup of the butter. It didn't need it. Next time I would use serrano chiles for more heat. I only used half the bacon ...

I thought it was very good, but will add 1/3 cup sugar next time and drain some of the bacon grease out of the pan before I put the batter in the cast iron skillet. pprekop

I added the bacon to the batter. It was good cornbread but I’ll change a couple things when I make it next time. I’ll add honey and more cornmeal.
