Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the pan, plus 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
  • 3/4 pound left over BBQ pork or beef
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 (15-ounce) cans cream-style corn
  • 1/4 cup drained canned chopped green chile peppers
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Recommended: combination Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • Pinch salt

Topping:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons your favorite bbq sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Lightly butter a deep 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Shred left over BBQ into fine pieces and set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the butter, milk, and sugar. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until well incorporated. Add the creamed corn, chiles, cheese, and shredded BBQ and stir until well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until golden brown and until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean.

Topping:

Combine all and melt in microwave. Brush over cornbread and place back in oven for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. It's ok to break up pieces and serve in a small bowl.

    Heck yea It's tasty! It's my recipe so I think so! I just wanted to thank all of the people for their reviews. This recipe has become a "MUST DO" at all of my book signings and chef demos. Some variations have invented, smoked chicken, pulled bbq beef, Ground Italian sausage and even a shrimp and bacon version. Thanks for all of the great reviews. I am so glad you like my recipe.

    This cornbread is awsome. Very moist. The barbecue disappeared the first time I made it, so I added 1.25 lbs of pork and did not chop it as small. Everyone loved it at a party we had over the holidays. I had seen this recipe in 2005 and copied it and forgot about it till this year. you got to try this Thanks Kent

    This is the best cornbread recipe I've ever tried. The cornbread is moist and has an excellent flavor. I couldn't find barbecued pork, so I bought a piece of pork, slathered it with barbecue sauce and grilled it. Additionally, I didn't have 1 1/2 cans of creamed corn, so I used 1 can creamed corn and 1/2 can regular niblet corn. Thanks for a great recipe.
