Mexican Cornbread

Our family does not like cornbread, but they do love this cornbread!  It is moist and with the peppers baked in the batter, you get some great color as well.

Ingredients

1 c. flour
1 c. cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar 
4 eggs
1 (15 oz.) can cream style corn
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped fine
1 sweet bell pepper, diced
1/2 c. pepper jack cheese, shredded
1/2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs, one at a time.  Beat well after each addition.

Stir in the creamed corn, green chilies, pepper jack cheese and cheddar cheese. 

Add the baking powder, salt, flour, and cornmeal.  Stir until smooth. 

Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
