Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped green chilies
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    1. In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising cornmeal mix, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter, creamed corn, milk, chopped green chilies, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.
    3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  3. Bake:
    1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Serve:
    1. Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños to the batter.
  • This cornbread pairs wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of honey.
