Light and moist, this cornbread is filled with great flavors. I like to serve it with ‘country-style’ vegetables, as well as chili, stew, and vegetable soup.

Being a Southern girl, I’ve had many different variations of cornbread. Growing up I had straight-up cornbread with no cheese, bacon, or sausage added.

Here are some more cornbread recipes you may like.

  3. Sweet Potato Cornbread
  4. Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Biscuits

  7. More Drool-worthy Southern Foods

As well, the preparation can vary the taste and texture. To get that crispy edge, pour the batter in a super-hot cast-iron skillet. I always cook cornbread in a cast-iron skillet. This one measured 9 inches in diameter. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a 9-inch square or 9-inch round pan as long as the sides are 2.5 to 3 inches tall.

I’m a big cheese fan and put two cups of shredded cheddar cheese in this recipe. If you don’t like cheddar, use your favorite cheese or leave it out altogether. As well, you can simply reduce the amount of cheese to one or 1.5 cups of cheese.

Furthermore, feel free to use more or less chopped jalapeno. I used one large jalapeno which measured about 1/3 cup. Also, jalapenos vary greatly in the level of heat they contain so I recommend tasting it before adding it to your recipe. You can then adjust the amount based on heat.

Then, of course, you can leave the bacon or put more in. I added about 1 cup of cooked, chopped bacon. You’ll want to cook it crisp so it doesn’t become soggy in the batter. Additionally, you could add chopped ham to this instead of bacon.
