This cheddar, Jalapeno and bacon cornbread bread is loaded with flavor and truly an appetizer that everyone will love.

It’s sure to add a little kick to whatever you’re serving like a nice big bowl of Homemade Chili or Chicken Tortilla Soup.

This recipe can even be served alone as a snack. My family always appreciates when I make something for them to nibble on during the day.

The cheese, jalapenos and bacon bits go together so well with the cornbread and honey butter topping.

The greatest part about this recipe is how easy it is to make. The Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix provides a huge shortcut here.

Combine that with all the flavorful add ins and you’ve got yourself a truly irresistible snack or appetizer.

Cheddar, Jalapeno and Bacon Cornbread Variations

I like this recipe for cheddar, jalapeño, and bacon cornbread made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Cheese- use any kind of cheese that you’d like. Just be sure to shred it yourself because it will melt much better that way.
• Bacon- you can either buy the pre-cooked bacon, bits and use those like I did or cook and crumble your own bacon bits. Either one works.
• Spice- if you’d rather not use jalapeños, you can use canned green diced chilies instead. ?
