How To Make Serrano Cheddar Cornbread

  1. Chop your bell pepper, serrano peppers, and onion. If you prefer less spice, clean the seeds out of your peppers.
  2. In a large bowl mix together 2 cups of self rising yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/3 cup avocado or olive oil, 16 oz of creamed corn, 1 chopped bell pepper, 2 chopped serrano peppers, 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 chopped onion, and 3/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese.

    We prefer Tillamook white sharp cheddar or Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese for this cornbread. You can also use vegan cheese to make this recipe dairy free to accommodate dairy allergies.
