Photo: Skillet Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 3 cups cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 10 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degree F.
Brown chopped bacon in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Add the garlic and jalapeno and saute until softened.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper and mix well. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Add to dry ingredients and stir just to combine. Quickly pour the cornmeal batter into the skillet.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm and golden brown on top. Let sit for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve hot with butter on the side.

Im going to have to rate this recipe a five star, because even tho I left out one main ingredient, the butter (totally by mistake while melting it in the microwave the corn bread still came out great. Im going to now redo it with the butter added to the recipe this next time. Remember, its not a sweet cornbread, but so very delish.

I'd give this 4 and a half (only because I have a sweet tooth and this isn't sweet cornbread. I changed the recipie by putting in 2-1/2 cups cornmeal and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. I also used chipotle (smoked jalapeño peppers. I soaked them for a few min in warm water to make them pliable, removed seeds, then diced them finely. After sauteing everything, I just poured batter on top and popped it in oven. If I did it again I would use two peppersinstead of four. Be careful in the oven, mine was done in 20 min. Awesome cornbread!!!
