  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 poppers

Ingredients

  • 12 Jalapeño Peppers
  • 1 box (15 oz) Cornbread Mix
  • 1 ½ cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Canned Corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice each jalapeño down the center and carefully remove all the seeds and veins. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread mix according to the package instructions. Stir in the canned corn and shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Carefully fill each jalapeño with the cornbread batter, being cautious not to overfill.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filled peppers.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cornbread is firm and cooked through. They should be puffed and golden.
  6. Let the poppers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, spicy treat!

Notes

  • You can add a little bit of sour cream or ranch dressing on the side for a cooling contrast to the heat.
  • For a smokier flavor, try using smoked cheddar cheese or adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the cornbread mix.
  • If you prefer more heat, leave some of the seeds and veins in the jalapeños.
