Elevate your cornbread with savory peppers, gooey cheese, and crispy bacon.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slices thick-sliced bacon, chopped (4 oz)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
  • 2 pouches (6.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cornbread & Muffin Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 bunch sliced green onions, greens and whites separated (about 1/2 cup whites and 1/2 cup greens)
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Keep 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet, discard the rest.
  • Lay the pepper rings in a single layer in the hot drippings in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the peppers have softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and flip the peppers while keeping them in a single layer.
  • Combine the cornbread mix, eggs, and milk in a large bowl. Add in the bacon, chiles, cheese, and green onion whites.
  • Carefully drizzle the batter over the pepper rings and bake for 28 to 33 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Use a knife to gently loosen the edges of the cornbread. Allow the cornbread to rest and cool for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the skillet onto a plate, removing the skillet carefully. Cut the dish into 8 wedges and sprinkle with fresh green onion greens.
