Mexican Cornbread

Even though i'm trying to eat healthy I can still share some good food with everyone :)  So I've never liked plain cornbread it just tastes horrible.  And when someone throws a few peppers in it and calls it Mexican cornbread its still nasty lol its just nasty with peppers in it.  However the recipe i'm going to share is the only time I eat "cornbread" because its actually REALLY good.  This is probably one of the things I make that my friends enjoy the most and actually requested on our beach trips!

I found this online so it's not my creation... most things i've shared i've just found and made anyways!

Here is what you need:  

Cast Iron Pan (the size depends on how much you want to make)  For this recipe I use about a 9"
2 boxes of jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
1 cans of cream corn
about 1lb of ground chuck
green pepper handful chopped
white onion  handful chopped
8 oz Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
2/3rd cup of milk
ground cayenne pepper (to taste)


Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• brown the ground chuck with the peppers in onions mixed in... I don't measure the peppers and onions I literally just put a handful of each in to taste  

• mix together the muffin mix, eggs, cream corn, milk and then sprinkle in some of the cayenne pepper.  I just put enough to taste but not a lot because I don't like it hot.  

• pour enough of this mixture on the bottom of the cast iron pan to cover it completely (make sure you don't use more than just a layer to cover the pan or you wont have enough for the top!)  

• After you finish the ground chuck strain it and layer it on top of the wet mixture in the pan  

• Next put the entire bag of cheese on top of the ground chuck

• and last pour the rest of the wet mixture on top making sure it completely covers everything.  

• Put it in the oven for about 25-30 mins until its golden brown.  Toothpick it and make sure the bread is done!  I've put it back in for 5-7 mins longer before and sometimes it was done after 30.  

Tip:  If you let it cool for about 15mins before serving its best because if you serve it really hot it falls apart (but its still good)
