Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

I'm from southern Louisiana so I grew up on a staple in the Cajun community: cornbread.  Here's a good recipe I found for Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread.  If I made it again, I would probably double the amount of cheese that this recipe calls for.  I hope you enjoy!

Step 1: What You'll Need:

1 (8.25 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup olive oil
3 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese (I recommend doubling this amount)
3 eggs
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons butter

Step 2: Everyone in the Pool!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Mix cream-style corn, cornmeal, buttermilk, corn oil, Cheddar cheese, eggs, jalapeno peppers, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Bread Batter Into a Pan

Put butter into a 9-inch square baking dish.  Melt butter in preheated oven, 2 to 3 minutes.  Pour corn bread batter into the baking dish over melted butter.

Step 4: You're Almost Done!

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes.  Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, cut and serve. Enjoy!  I served with Faux Fettuccine Alfredo.  I know it's a random pairing, but it was still fantastic!
