It feels like Autumn is the time for potlucks! Between back to school, birthdays and football parties? It seems like I’m always trying to come up with some sort of a dish to take somewhere! So I thought I’d share with you an easy, quick and delicious side dish that you can just throw together and take just about anywhere!
Cornbread is ALWAYS a big hit in our house! A quick meal is to toss some left over beef chili (like this delicious Slow Cooker Lumberjack Chili) over the top, add a pinch of cheese and sour cream and you’ve got a delicious and quick dinner! But it’s also fun to just grab a piece for a snack, with a little bit of butter! We’ve found quite a few ways to add some flavor to our cornbread over the years, but my absolute favorite is Green Chiles!!
- 1 cup boxed biscuit mix
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar (you can substitute 1 Tblsp Sugar, 1 Tblsp Brown Sugar too!)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium roasted Pueblo Chile (diced) *You can add a second Chile if you like a little extra kick!
- 1 can (drained) sweet corn
- Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 inch Square baking pan. (Although I prefer to use my 10 inch Iron Skillet for this!)
- Stir biscuit mix, cornmeal, sugar, salt, milk, oil, butter and eggs in medium bowl until moistened – DO NOT OVER MIX! This batter will be slightly lumpy and have a gritty texture! Gently fold in the corn, cheese and Chiles!
- Pour into Pan
- Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and be sure to serve warm!
- If you have left overs, store in an air-tight container, and reheat before serving a second time!
It’s Chile Time in Pueblo!! The 2014 Chile and Frijoles Festival is September 19-21! So you’ll have the perfect chance to pick up a bushel of Pueblo Chile!!
