Cornbread Jalapeno Poppers

Want a meatless appetizer idea for the Super Bowl or your next get-together? How's this-Cornbread Jalapeno Poppers, simply bake cornbread in jalapenos! Whole corn gives it a little bite and while the cheese is great, I feel it's optional. The test batch turned into my dinner... just call me Earl:@)
My jalapenos were cleaned well and this was a very mild, tasty finger food.
If you like things hotter, just remove the seeds but leave the membranes in the peppers.

Cornbread Jalapeno Poppers-from Quick'N Easy Recipes
12 medium/large jalapenos
1 box corn bread mix-plus ingredients on box
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar-1 C for batter, 1/2 C to sprinkle on top
1 C corn-fresh, frozen and thawed or canned and drained well
  1. Slice each jalapeno lengthwise and clean out the seeds and membrane-a melon baller works great.
  2. Mix cornbread per package directions.
  3. Stir in corn and 1 cup of cheddar.
  4. Fill each jalapeno with batter-just up to the top of the pepper-don't over fill. Place on baking sheet or dish-I covered my baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
  5. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar.
  6. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cornbread is firm and cooked through. 
  7. Let cool a bit and enjoy!
Notes:
  • If they won't lay flat (want to roll to one side so the batter drips out) lean them against the side of the baking sheet or each other.
  • I did use a from scratch cornbread recipe, and suggest that you don't cut back on the salt. You might even want to give them a light sprinkle of kosher salt once out of the oven too.
  • If you have enough corn bread mix leftover that you're worried about wasting it, simply pour into a greased ramekin or cupcake pan and make a muffin or two for breakfast.

Have a happy day:@)

  14. This would be perfect for the Super Bowl party we're attending, but I have to make a dessert for it! I like these poppers much better than wings and will be trying it for our next get-together. Thanks!

  17. Those look SO good. Reminds me of one of our local BBQ restaurants, where one of their sides is Jalapeno creamed corn.
    Looks like the "eats" for Super Bowl Sunday will be great at your house.

  20. I would never in a zillion years have thought to do this, and I guarantee it would be the hit of any get together. What a perfect idea. I'm pinning!

  22. What a fabulous idea. I adore jalapenos and I was just reading that eating one a day helps you up your metabolism. I have been adding a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes (another option) and I haven't even felt cold and it has been cold here so that is a nice winter solution to constantly freezing. I want to try these and serve them with a side of whipped cream cheese - ooh baby, here I come!

  23. Hi Lynnie! Oh, these look and sound so good. I love the cornbread topping. Now I've learned something. I thought if you took the seeds out that would take care of the hot. Didn't realize it was the membrane.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  24. OMG, I would die...D. I. E. die!!! LOL You must have a cast iron stomach, Lynn. You love hot stuff!!!

    I know Sunday is going to be a fun day at your house. DH asked if I wanted to ask some folks over & I said 'no way'...I want to watch, not be stuck in the kitchen.

    I thought of you again this morning when I made your eggs with a splash of water. Best tip I've ever gotten on the internet. Thanks again for that.

    Warm Hugs,
    Rett

  25. I know my family would love these as they have 3 biggies: cheese, cornbread and jalapenos! But I would be eating just the filling. Just what I need--more carbs. I just saw your comment pop into my box. It's 5:20 am here and the winds are wicked. Something huge just fell down outside but we won't be able to see until morning. So many trees down this winter!!! I hope the weather is better there. Linda
