I was not able to make this recipe as listed because I did not have all of the listed ingredients. I substituted a can of Mexicorn for the frozen corn and jalapeno. I also did not have any cilantro. Nonetheless, this was a delicious alternative to cornbread muffins. The meal this was served with also included bacon. All those tasting this recipe agreed that the bacon had a synergistic effect. Served with bacon or cooked with even a small amount of bacon grease turns this into a five star recipe. I highly recommend trying this the next time you have a hankering for cornbread.
