How to Make Zingy Chili Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chili powder.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, oil, milk, and diced green chilies.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cornbread should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
