Once Pete taste-tested the orange pepper to let me know it packed some heat, I was ready and started the following recipe.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- 1 Pouch Cornbread Mix
- 2 tblsps. butter
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3/4 shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 orange hot pepper, de-seeded and chopped up itty-bitty
- 1/2 can of corn
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well-mixed and transfer to a greased pan size recommended by the cornbread mix. Put in the oven and bake 14-16 minutes until a golden brown color shows. Once it's out of the oven, take it out of the pan immediately and let sit and cool before serving.
Spicy Cornbread
Is that ALL?!?! Not quite. First, this spicy cornbread was a side to a smoked applewood bacon turkey breast for JennieO and a carrot, parsnip, nutmeg mash I whipped up right quick. However, once this bread sits for a few days, its about to become spicy cornbread stuffing because not-a-one-thing goes to waste in Rachel 'Tha Pizza Cutta's' kitchen!

Spicy cheesy cornbread, it sounds delicious!
I'll have to make this version for the adults only. My daughter adores cornbread, but I don't think she can take the heat. It looks so good!
I thought that's a pepperoni? Or cilantro and pepperoni are the same stuff?
Anyway. The surprise looks very healthy and good.
oooooh! That sounds delish! :)
Wow spicy cornbread. These sound really delicious.
Jennifer - thanks so much! Def try it for the mouths you feed because it's fun, easy and fast.
ncfoodie - If you want the texture of a pepper for your daughter, maybe try a red bell or yellow bell pepper for a sweeter taste. Happy Baking!
Angi - Pepperoni you say? Now that's a good idea for the next version-thanks! Cilantro is a fresh herb. Its pretty cheap so pick some up and start experimenting. :)
jo - thanks again girl! Always love your visits.
and jo again (how lucky am I?) - If you like spicy and sweet like me, make this little bad boy. I have found its good for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
oh yum. love this recipe. my kids wouldn't be down with it, but for the big kids? yes.
did you ever figure out which peppers they are? my uncle grows peppers for the U of OK and would most likely be able to identify them on sight. let me know if you want him to take a look-although mystery pepper is so much more glamorous.
Cate-cool! I will try to find another and take a pic because I would love to know the type of pepper. Thanks so much for the offer-I'll be in touch!
i saved your recipe in my notes because i've been wanting to kick my cornbread up a notch. thanks!
