How to Make Mexican Cornbread With Ground Meat : Comfort Foods

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in the corn kernels, jalapeños (if using), and cheddar cheese (if using).

Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
