Servings: persons

1-1/2 cup Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese (6 Oz.)
3/4 cups Buttermilk
1/3 cups Corn Oil (veggie Or Canola Oil Can Also Be Used)
2 whole Eggs
1 can Cream-syle Corn (small 8.5 Oz. Can)
1 can Chopped Green Chiles (4 Oz. Can)
1 Tablespoon Minced Roasted Red Pepper (from A Jar)
1 Tablespoon Minced Pickled Jalapeno Nacho Slices (from A Jar)
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1-1/4 cup Cornmeal
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
In a large bowl mix cheese, buttermilk, oil, eggs, corn, green chiles, red pepper, jalapeno and cilantro.
3
In another bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
4
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. Don't over mix.
5
Generously spray a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin or a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide batter between the cups. Top each muffin with a little extra cheddar. (Optionally, also garnish with a pickled jalapeno slice and a couple roasted red pepper strips.It makes 'em purdy.)
6
Bake until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cooking times will vary based upon the pan you use. I used a jumbo muffin tin and it took about 30 to 35 minutes. A standard muffin tin will take less time to cook.
7
Cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove muffins and let cool to your liking. Serve warm or at room temperature.
8
Note: The amount of sugar you add is up to you. I prefer just a hint of sweetness (2 tablespoons). You can add more or less depending on your cornbread palate.

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.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
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.
