Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread

Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread

This bacon jalapeño cornbread 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.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
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 the skillet. Crumble bacon.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the skillet with bacon grease in the oven.
Step 3
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 jalapeño peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Pour batter into the hot skillet; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.
Step 5
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.
