Servings: persons

1 cup Butter, Softened, Divided
1/2 whole Onion, Diced
1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Diced
1 can (4 Oz. Size) Chopped Green Chilies
1 cup Sugar
6 whole Eggs
1 can (14 Oz. Size) Cream Style Corn
1-1/2 cup Whole Kernel Corn
2-1/2 cups Flour
2 cups Cornmeal
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease two 9X13 baking pans.
2
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the butter in a saucepan. Saute the onion and red pepper for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the chilies. Set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining butter and the sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Mix in the corn. Set aside.
4
Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt) in a medium bowl; then add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the onion mixture and shredded cheese. Transfer to pans, and bake for 35-40 minutes.

I like to serve this with chili or BBQ chicken.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
