Submitted by CCinSC

"This makes a large pan of cornbread with a kick! If you prefer a milder version just leave out the peppers. It's delicious either way."

Thanks for your comments Caryn. I just wanted to mention that this is a very moist cornbread but not as moist as a spoonbread. If you try it again, you may want to up the cooking time a bit.

What an interesting combination of flavors for cornbread. Everything melds together to create a smooth moist cornbread with a nice kick from the jalapeno peppers. For those that prefer a traditional cornbread this is a very moist cornbread almost a cornbread merged with spoonbread. It makes a huge 9x13-inch pan of cornbread. I froze the extra cornbread in individual pieces so that my family can enjoy it during future dinners.

This is a great cornbread recipe! Very spicy! Me and my hubby love jalapenos! I made a mild cornbread for the kids just by omitting the jalapenos. Thanks CC

Everybody in my sorority chapter loves this cornbread. I took it tonight to our chili cook-off. We tried sending some jalapeno muffins to our soldiers in Afghanistan -- they didn't travel very well -- had turned green and fuzzy by the time they were delivered. Based on that experience, I would recommend refrigerating any leftovers.

I made this for a potluck and it made me the "belle of the ball" because everyone wanted the recipe. It baked in exactly one hour for me too. Thanks for sharing it CC!
