It is delicious for breakfast with a cup of tea and some honey drizzled on top. It’s a great side dish for lunch and dinner. You can also chop it up, dry it out, and then use it to make cornbread dressing.

There are several ways to make this tasty treat.Recipes for cornbread often have different ingredients and ways of making it, based on regional preferences. Each region also have strong beliefs about what should be included in cornbread and not.

For example, in southern parts of the U.S., you will usually find recipes where corn itself is the most prominent ingredients. Modern southern recipes would include flour and even sugar but that wasn’t always the case.

Southern recipes also prefer buttermilk while northern ones prefer milk. Northern cornbread recipes were also the ones to start sweetening it with sugar or syrup.

And of course, what you use to bake cornbread is also a regional aspect. Southern cooks prefer a cast iron skillet while northern prefer a baking dish.

Jalapeno cornbread has a southwest influence of adding spicy peppers to food. It has a very pleasant and strong flavor of jalapeno pepper but it’s not actually very spicy. Unless you include the seeds because that is what actually adds majority of heat to food.

Jalapeño Cheddar Jiffy Cornbread

Making the jalapeno cornbread to go with the chili was just an excuse because what I really wanted it for was to make some really special jalapeno cornbread grilled cheese sandwiches. I first came across the idea for this cornbread grilled cheese at a recent Toronto Underground Market where Comida Del Pueblo was serving them and boy did they ever look good! Unfortunately the long line kept me away and before I knew it I was out of time and it was too late. Rather than become depressed I simply saw this as a challenge to make them at home based solely on the description of the jalapeno cornbread grilled cheese with chipotle caramelized onions, refried black beans and guacamole.

Luckily I was familiar with making all of the ingredients and had recipes for the chipotle caramelized onions , refried black beans , and guacamole so I only needed to come up with the recipe for the jalapeno cornbread and then combine everything, add some cheese and grill it up. Making all of the ingredients from scratch can take some time but it is well worth it as they make one amazingly spectacular sandwich! Once you have all of the ingredients ready, these sandwiches are as easy to make as buttering up the cornbread, throwing it into a pan, topping it with cheese, onions, beans, more cheese and the remaining cornbread before grilling it until the cheese melts and the cornbread is nice and golden brown. The cornbread does not hold together too well so you have to be gentle when flipping the sandwiches and even then I ended up eating them with a fork but they were so good that I did not mind at all.

The cornbread grills up nice and buttery crisp on the outside and yet it remains light, moist and tender on the inside. The chipotle caramelized onions provide the fiery heat that the creamy refried beans and melted cheese do a great job of balancing out. Overall the filling is still on the spicy side and when combined with the sweetness of the cornbread, the coolness of the avocado and tangy sour cream, it literally creates magic in your mouth! These are so addictively good! I already need another loaf of jalapeno cornbread!

This recipe also calls for chow chow, which is a southern cabbage relish that's full of sweet and spicy pickle-y flavor. You can find chow chow at most Southern grocery stores or online, but if you can't, feel free to swap it out for spicy pickle relish which works wonderfully.  

Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
