Green Chili Cornbread

Green Chili Cornbread fills the bill for Tex Mex cuisine. Cornbread is perfect to help cut the heat and compliment any bean dish, chili or tamale.

Cornbread is perfect to help cut the heat and compliment that meal. Diced green chilis are added for that spicy flavor and I go with mild chilis because I think it blends better with cornmeal.

This is a very simple recipe and you can smear dairy-free butter on the final product … or not. I like them as a snack all by themselves. Nothing else is needed. They are that moist and light.

There’s another cornbread recipe on this blog that is very different also. It’s Date Pecan Cornbread . I kid you not. There’s a mild sweetness that really enhances the bread and it makes a really nice breakfast.

Now back to the spicy! I think when you try this recipe you’ll find that it is one that you will go to over and over again. Made from scratch and perfect every time.

After the cornbread has cooled you may freeze them in any of the methods shown in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer.

They defrost quickly so it really doesn't take any planning. The microwave will also zap them in 20 seconds.
