Herdez Mexican Cornbread
This Mexican Cornbread recipe is moist; and the pepper jack cheese, Herdez Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce, (or your favorite Salsa Verde), and the jalapeños add just the right amount of spiciness.

- 1/2 cup onion minced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper minced
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 sweet cream-style corn 14.75 ounce can
- 1 jalapeño 4 ounce can, diced, canned

- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix together the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the Cheddar cheese, pepper Jack cheese, onion, and red bell pepper.
- Add the milk, oil, corn, jalapeño peppers, and Mexican cooking sauce. Stir well.

Notes
- If you do not have creamed corn, add a can of corn into the food processor and process for about a minute. Then it will become thick like creamed corn and you can use that in the recipe.
