Did anyone watch the Seahawks vs. Panthers game last weekend? I didn’t. I mean, Trevor and I went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, so we could watch the game while enjoying some margaritas and chips and salsa, but I think I did more sipping and munching, than actually watching. But. I was present somewhere where the game was on, so ittotally gives me a bunch more cool wife points, right? Don’t answer that, Trevor 😉

Speaking of football games…the Super Bowl is upon us! Anyone else counting down? I am! Why? You don’t care about football, Jennifer. Well, I may not care about the actual game, but I love getting together with friends, and I LOVE the food, because let’s be honest, what’s the Super Bowl without amazing food like….one bowl jalapeno cheddar cornbread?!
As you may have noticed, I really like jalapenos. I love jalapeno poppers, jalapeno hummus, and spicy spinach artichoke dip! I also really like one bowl recipes, because there’s nothing worse than making or baking something amazing, only to have that pile of dirty dishes taunting you from the sink. It’s a total buzz kill. Well, this one bowl jalapeno cheddar cornbread is spicy and requires, ummm yeah, one bowl…no slaving away on Super Bowl Sunday and everyone will love it!
Other than the fact that this recipeis spicy and contains jalapenos AND it only dirty’s one bowl, I love this recipe, because it’s cornbread. What is it about cornbread that’s so satisfying? Is it…
A. Because it’s so dense and moist?
B. Thesubtle corn flavor?
C. The honey that it gets smothered in?
Orrrrr…
D. All of the above.
I’m gonna say D, but I’ll leave that up to you.
Now. I have something to tell you and I’m a little nervous about it, because you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it. This one bowl jalapeno cheddar cornbread recipe contains sugar.
Gahhh! I know. I can feel all the Southerner’s shaking their heads at me in disappointment. Southerns, I know! This isn’t a traditional recipe, but I love all things sweet, so…

Start by melting a stick of butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the butter for 30 second intervals until the butter has completelymelted.
Then whisk in some granulated sugar.
Next, whisk in two eggs.
Now you’re going to mix together some buttermilk and baking soda and pour this into the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Lastly, pour in cornmeal, flour, salt, shredded cheddar cheese, and canned diced jalapenos! Make sure you mix this until the mixture is *just* combined. Don’t over mix, or you’ll end up with tough bread!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a pan with cooking spray. I used amini loaf pan very similar to this mini loaf pan, but an 8 x 8 pan would work, too! Although, the cooking time may vary. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and top the batter with thinly sliced fresh jalapenos.
Bake for about 25 to35 minutes – again, the cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan.
Remove from the oven, and let the loaves cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, remove from the pan and let set on a cooling rack until you’re ready to serve!
Do I even need to tell you that this is best served warm with a slab of butter and more honey than any of us want to talk about? I didn’t think so 😉
This one bowl jalapeno cheddar cornbread is an easy, less mess, one bowl, delicious addition to your Super Bowl! It’s moist, a little bit sweet, so tender and thick, and has the right amount of spice!The perfect companion to this, of course, is my chili!
