How to Make Quick Mexican Cornbread

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, milk, and canned corn. Stir until just combined; don't overmix.
  4. Stir in the diced green chilies and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy hot with your favorite chili!
