Cornbread Jalapeno Poppers

Kickin' and easy. Use as an appetizer or a side. If half a jalapeno is too much for you in a bit, just put the batter in mini muffin tin and place a slice of jalapeno on top (or in the middle and cheese on top). Show more

Directions

  1. Slice the jalapenos longwise and carefully remove all the seeds and veins.set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix up the Cornbread batter according to the box instructions, add in the Corn and 1 cup of the Cheddar.
  3. Fill each Jalapeno half with some batter! Careful, don’t over fill them!
  4. Sprinkle them all with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar.
  5. Place them on a baking rack & sheet pan, bake them at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, or until the Cornbread is firm and cooked through. They will be puffed and cheesy too!
  6. Alternatively put the dough in mini muffin tin and then place a slice of jalapeno on top or sneak it in the middle and put more cheese on top. This is a milder approach.
