This Spicy Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread is no joke. My boyfriend likes everything hot and I made the mistake of letting him go to the store for groceries. Well he came back with 12 jalapenos for this recipe and insisted upon making it with all 12. I made this cornbread with the intent to make cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving so I put 6 jalapenos in this recipe and 6 more into the actual stuffing.
Needless to say it was hot and delicious. Perfect for jalapeno cheddar cornbread stuffing or for a bowl of chili on a cold winter day.
