    Smoky jalapeno cheddar cornbread is simple to make. The key is blistering jalapeno peppers over a flame to give the cornbread a nice smoky kick.

    This recipe for smoky jalapeno cheddar cornbread was inspired by a visit to a local restaurant. A while back, my daughter and I went to a local Mexican restaurant and she ordered some grilled jalapeno peppers.

    They were really good, and not as hot as you would think.

    Ever since then I've been thinking about ways to incorporate grilled jalapenos in a recipe. So, when I was looking for something to serving with my Jambalaya dish I came up with the idea to add them to cornbread.

    Two other ingredients I add were cheddar cheese and a can of creamed corn. They were good additions but I have to say that the smokiness of the blistered peppers is what makes this dish.

    Instead of grilling the peppers I held them over a flame on the stove.

    This gave them the same smoky flavor I remembered at the Mexican restaurant.

    I used Jiffy cornbread mix to save time and added a little cheddar cheese. I will say that the cheese didn't throw a lot of flavor. Next time I will either skip the cheese or increase the amount.

    The smoky jalapenos, on the other hand, added a great flavor and now I don't think I will be making cornbread again without it.

      I always see the big bags of chili peppers but have no idea what to do with them. Now I've got a reason to give them a try!

        Hi Shelley,

        My brother in law like to stuff his peppers with cheese can cook them with tomato sauce. You can also slice them in half and fill them with Italian sausage. Top with sauce and cheese and cook them in the oven. I'll have to post about that one in the future.

          I'll be back to check it out - that sounds delicious too. When my hubby and I were first married we had a little Mexican food restaurant that made chili rellenos stuffed with hamburger and the most delicious creamy sauce on top. Would love to find a facsimile of that dish.

        Hi Julie,

        It really works well with a gas stove by a regular grill or even a grill pan on the stove would work too.
        So glad you liked it and thanks for stopping by,

        Hi Helen,

        You can also get the same effect on a grill or grill pan on an electric range.
