So Glad to Be Home

Monday, February 8, 2010



I was still so glad to be home (from my weekend away) that when I got home from work I made some homemade Chili Con Carne and baked some Mexican Cornbread. It was my first time trying out this cornbread recipe (I found it on the net) and I love, love, loved it. How can you go wrong with a little butter, a little sugar, and a little cheese? Yum.

Absolute Mexican Cornbread

Ingredients

1 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1/2 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in cream corn, chiles, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean.
