How to make Bacon Jalapeño Popper Cornbread

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F.

While the oven is heating up, use a nonstick skillet and set it over medium heat. Place the 6 strips of bacon in the skillet and cook them until they’re crispy, flipping them as needed. Once done, take them out and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. After the bacon has cooled down, chop it into small bits and set it aside.

In a big mixing bowl, follow the instructions on the 1 box of corn muffin mix package. Mix in the chopped bacon along with the 1 large egg, 1/3 cup 2% milk, 2 sliced jalapeños, 1/4 thinly sliced green onion, and 4 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray, then pour the batter into the pan.

Bake it for about 23 to 28 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown.

    Serve with Happy Farms Whipped Cream Cheese. It adds a lovely, creamy contrast to the slightly spicy Bacon Jalapeño Popper Cornbread!
