Skillet Jalapeno Cornbread all dressed up for a date! This beautiful baked skillet cornbread has a little sweet heat with the fresh taste of summer baked right on top!
This week Sunday Supper Tastemakers are celebrating "Summer Corn" and sharing with you all of our "corny" recipes! A big thank you to Ellen from Family Around The Table who is hosting this event!
I love my sweet heat. One of my very favorite meals is my Spicy Sweet Chili with Brown Sugar Cornbread. I love my cornbread with sugar and I can't apologize for that! It is the sugar that makes cornbread so appealing to me!
As I was thinking about what to make for this event I came across a recipe in a skillet cooking magazine for making cornbread and topping it with garden fresh veggies. I had to take that idea and run with it making slight changes along the way for the way I knew I would love to eat it!
Grumpy isn't much of a cornbread eater. He used to eat his chili served over top of rice. I will still do that for him sometimes but because I'm a chili and cornbread girl, we have to take turns with what we serve alongside of it.
The corn this summer has been delicious. I have become quite adept at cooking it on the grill which has become my favorite way of eating it! Just a little olive oil rubbed over the cob, sprinkled with a little garlic grinder salt, and grilled to perfection. The corn is sweet with a little of the flavorful salt combined.
For this recipe I went with just fresh cut corn on the cob - uncooked. It was going to be baked in the oven after all so I felt I did not need to precook it. I love how beautiful and summer fresh this recipe is. Serve beside a small bowl of chili or even just a piece of grilled meat, it is all you need to make your meal complete!

Lauren @ Sew You Think You Can Cook
So great that you topped this with those tomatoes, too. Corn + tomato = perfect summer combo

Yes please!
Cindys Recipes and Writings
Yes! This cornbread is perfect for chili!
Renee @ReneesKitchenAdventures
this is my kind of cornbread! Full of yummy stuff! lol
Monica
I agree with you on the sugar - cornbread must be sweet but brown sugar? That is genius - I love the depth of flavor brown sugar gives. Then the jalapeños are a must! Love the way you dressed up the cornbread. it looks amazing with those toppings and everything is better in a cast iron skillet!
Cynthia L
I see this recipe being made often at my house. I can just imagine it with a big bowl of chili!
Carlee
That looks delicious! And I love how pretty it is too. What a fun way to dress up cornbread!
Beckie Bergeron
Yum! That looks fabulous! Can't wait to try it!

I'm a sucker for a good plain ol' cornbread, but your tall, flavorful and moist version looks incredible! I'd eat a wedge for breakfast!!!
