Ingredients
  

Cornbread Base
  • 1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 14.75 oz creamed corn - 1 can
  • 1 cup sour cream
Loaded Toppings
  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon - cooked & crumbled
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 2–3 whole jalapeños diced
  • 4 stalks green onions - sliced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish (greased)
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Sharp knife (for slicing jalapeños & green onions)
  • 1 Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon until crispy (oven or stovetop). Dice jalapeños and slice green onions. Grease a 9×13 dish and preheat oven to 375°F. Crumble bacon and set toppings aside.
  2. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
  3. Beat eggs until frothy, then add milk, melted butter, sour cream, and creamed corn. Stir until smooth. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients gently—do not overmix.
  4. Pour half the batter into the dish. Add half the bacon, cheese, jalapeños, and green onions. Spread remaining batter on top, then add the final toppings with corn kernels.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
