This Cheesy Mexican Cornbread is moist and spicy thanks to the peppers and cream corn. This spicy cornbread goes great with Chili.

I love cornbread. Especially with my chili. While I am partial to my Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe, this Cheesy Mexican Cornbread recipe comes in a close second!

Maybe it's the cheese. Or maybe it's the peppers or the cream corn. Regardless of which ingredient makes this cornbread fabulous, this cornbread recipe is a keeper!

Compared to other cornbread recipes, this one is a little more involved to make given the number of ingredients. It's well worth it in my opinion. Especially if you are looking for a cheesy and spicy cornbread.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of cornbread? Chili right? If have a nice collection of Gourmet Chili Recipes to go with this Cornbread.
