Review This Recipe

Very Flavorful!

NANCY CHAPMAN from Yorba Linda, CA

This is a very flavorful cornbread. I cut down on the jalapeno a little because I thought that it might be too spicy. However, I think I am going to make it with the full recipe. It is a simple, delicious dish that goes well with just about anything!
Lovely cornbread

Miss Diaz from

I made some little adjustments like extra milk and oil instead of water,a cream style corn instead of the whole ones, garlic salt instead of regular and no sugar. This cornbread was the best I've ever tasted. It's now officially on the "FEEL GOOD" food list.We are definitely hooked.
Great cornbread recipe.

Elsa Johnson from CEDAR PARK, TX

This was a delicious cornbread. It was very moist, my family loved it. I omitted the sugar, as we do not like sweet cornbread.
Best ever

Debbie Benish from Walla Walla, WA

This is very good, I liked the jalapeno and the monterey jack cheese in it vs. the cheddar cheese and green chilies that I've always used int the recipe I always make. I will make this again.

I call it mexico cornbread

carolyn green from gastonia, NC

Instead of adding whole corn, cream style corn is good with sharp cheddar cheese, My mother and I bake this cornbread. It is also good with greens.
Delicious

Allecnarf from B.C. Canada

I made this to go with homemade soup for lunch, and it was absolutely fantastic. Most cornbread is too dry, but this was moist and delicious. Definitely a keeper.
Great muffins, too!

Carolyn Rhinehart from Scranton, AR

This is an excellent recipe which easily makes corn muffins for individual use!
Delicious

Kelly Rozenboom from

I made this for a church gathering and it received rave reviews. Although I wasn't able to eat it right out of the oven, I did sample it the next day and it was still moist and delicious!

I have made this corn bread before and always served it with southwestern chili. It is always a favorite. I made a slightly different version using creamed corn and it was very moist. Either way is great.

Made Mexican Chili after I saw this recipe. It's delicious and was just the right touch with the chili. The corn was a nice surprise. My husband really enjoyed with corn bread.
Jalapeno Cheese Corn Bread

Sandra Perry from SAN JOSE, CA

This is an outstanding but subtle blend of cheese, corn and the tangy tast of the jalapeno pepper. I loved it and will use it as a topper for chili pie.

Jalapeno Cheesy Corn Bread

LEIGHANN MALONEY from COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

This should be one of the first quick breads one thinks of when serving a hearty soup or chili. The cheese and jalapenos are strong enough to hold their own and the corn bits are a pleasant surprise.

claudia jimenez from HAMMOND, IN

I made this for thanksgiving. It was a hit! Us being Hispanic i added a little more chopped jalapenos and the result was great..a little spicey but good taste. this recipe is a keeper :)
Awesome Corn Bread

Mike from Queen Creek, AZ

Just got done with this for dinner. I made a pot of beans with ham, and this topped it off perfectly! I did have to cook it about 45 minutes. I added mexican corn instead of plain corn and it was a good contrast with the jalapeno peppers I added. I also only used 2 tbl spoons of the jalapenos as well. I reduced the milk to 3/4 cup and added some sour cream to make up the rest. Great recipe, will make it every time i make chili or beans!

Gloria Silva from WHITTIER, CA

Beans and cornbread

Robert Williams from DEL RIO, TX

I think beans(any beans)and corn bread are great eating. I like jalapeno and cheese. Combine jalapeno, cheese and corn bread and you have a good meal. This recipe is a good one for corn bread. Nestle' customers sure have some great ideas and sure fired recipes.

I love jalapeno peppers & this cheesy corn bread. I made this recipe for a church potluck, I was out of luck & didn't get any @ the potluck but did when I got home. It's easy to make & tasty too!

Excellent cornbread!

Teena Lagree from SOMERSET, NJ

This is my first review!! I made this for a friend's birthday--she loves jalepenos--so I thought this would be perfect. Not only was it great, it was easy to make!
This recipe is really good.

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

This recipe is really great with a pot of beans. I didn't add so much Jalapeno to my bread. The cheese was a nice added surprise. The family couldn't get over the cheese in the corn bread.

My husband loves anything with jalapenos in it. He couldn't get enough of this scrumcoius bread. It is relatively easy to make and definitely worth it.
Spicy and Different

Patricia Chambers from COLTON, CA

My family and I love this corn bread. I use Mexican style corn, instead of just plain corn inaddition to the other listed ingredients. This corn bread is very good. It goes very well with fried fish, salads, and baked potatoes. I have served it at dinner parties and it never fails that someone will want the recipe. People love this type of corn bread. Plus, it's spicy and different, but good.
Perfect Compliment

Toni Lang from PATCHOGUE, NY

This is a great Cornbread recipe. It goes well with chili, scrambled eggs, soups and stews. I used fresh, blanched corn that I scraped off the cob. It took a little longer but it was worth it.
BEST SPICY CORNBREAD

RENITA HENDERSON from FLOMATON, AL

LOVE THIS. HOT BUT NOT TOO HOT.
Great Cornbread!

Kathy White from MCKINNEY, TX

If you substitute cream corn for the corn it makes it more moist!

shirley vance from VERNER, WV

While I showed my Great Grand baby Mother how to make my Chili I made this Corn bread to go with the chili it was great.Some likes crackers others like corn bread. All of it was eaten, said it was the best they have ever eaten. I will be makeing it again and again. Delicious.
Great Mexican side

Kimberly Matlack from WILLIAMSPORT, PA

I made a complete mexican dinner and made this corn bread with it. Everyone raved about it. It was very tasty and something different to bring to the table.
VERY GOOD CORN BREAD

Lonnie Battistoni from HAMBURG, NY

This is very quick & easy to whip up. I used Carnation Evaporated milk inplace of "milk" and used hot pepper cheese instead of jalapenos. It was a great tasting switch from our usual crackers that we have with chili. Very good!

Great Corn Bread

Crystal Cooper from REDMOND, WA

This is a great variation of corn bread. I tested this recipe because I am having a birthday fiesta coming up and I'm trying different recipes for this party. I will use this one.
Delicious!

Kerrie Smith from

I made this, using the suggestion from another reviewer, to substitute sour cream for the milk. It was absolutely delicious! They came out a little bit crumbly, so I think next time, I'll do half sour cream, half milk, but I will definitely be making these again.

This is probably the best mexican corn bread I have ever tasted! My entire family absolutely loved it! It not only works well with mexican foods, but it is a great change to have with ham and beans or chili.
Jalapeno cheese Corn Bread

Patricia Schilling from Longmont, CO

Great recipe, remember to use Carnation Canned Milk in this recipe too...can also add pimento for one more color. Use green chiles if jalapeno is not to everyone's liking in your family.
