    You're going to love this simple and easy cornbread recipe. It's a great way to use up any jalapenos on hand (canned or fresh).

    The heat from the jalapenos, the sweetness from the corn, and the cheesy goodness all come together to create a harmonious blend of flavors. It's perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice without overwhelming the taste buds.

    2. It's great for any occasion. Serve up Jiffy jalapeno cheddar cornbread at a dinner party, for Taco Tuesday, or during the summer with your favorite Mexican-inspired or grilled dishes. This cornbread is versatile and goes with practically any dish or setting.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make jiffy jalapeno cornbread.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Cream cheese- Cream cheese will make the mixture thick, but when baked, the cornbread will be very rich and tender.

    Sour cream- This helps to create a wonderful buttery velvet texture in the cornbread.

    Jiffy corn muffin mix- We use boxed cornbread mix as the base of this recipe to make things even easier. If you still have Jiffy on hand try our Cornbread Tamale Pie and Jiffy Banana Cornbread.

    Cheddar cheese- Make this cornbread irresistible by adding in some shredded cheese. I like to use medium or sharp cheddar cheese.

    Whole kernel corn- Add in a can of drained corn (or use frozen) to add a nice crunch of fresh tasting corn in every slice.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Jiffy Jalapeno Cornbread

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

    Step 2: In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir together until well blended.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Corn Options- This bacon cheddar jalapeno cornbread recipe is versatile when it comes to corn. Whether you choose canned corn or frozen corn, both work equally well. You can use them interchangeably, and there's no requirement to thaw the corn before adding it to the batter.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How long is jalapeno cornbread good for?

    If stored in an airtight container or well wrapped and at room temperature, this jalapeno popper cornbread can last about 3 days and still taste fresh and delicious. I like to warm it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds to recreate the warm from oven feeling.

    Can I freeze jalapeno cornbread?

    Yes, this bread freezes great. I recommend either making it in a freezer friendly container like a disposable pan, then wrapping it well in plastic wrap before placing it in an airtight container. This will keep it safe for about 3-6 months. Just thaw when ready to eat.

    Can I bake jiffy jalapeno cornbread in muffins?

    Yes, you can make this recipe in muffin form but the cooking time will be about half. Set the timer for 15-20 minutes and check with a toothpick. Add additional time if necessary, in 5-minute intervals checking after each. You want the toothpick to come out clean or with just a few crumbs on it.

      Can you use creamed corn in this recipe? Or would you have to omit something (either sour cream or cream cheese) to make it not runny?

        That's actually a really good question. I have never tried adding creamed corn to this recipe, although I have tried adding it to other jiffy cornbread recipes.. I would add it in as it is and then just extend the baking time
