How to make Jalapeño Cornbread Poppers
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Using parchment paper, line a large baking sheet.
Step 2: In half lengthwise, cut the jalapenos, then scoop out the seeds. On the prepared baking sheet, place the jalapenos.
Step 3: On medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Take off the heat, reserving the grease. On paper towels, drain the bacon. Chop the bacon into small pieces once cooled.
Step 4: Place the corn muffin mix, egg, sour cream, and reserved bacon fat in a large bowl. Mix well until blended. Then, season with pepper. Next, fold in the corn (optional) along with the bacon, cheddar, and chives.
Step 5: Between the jalapeno halves, divide the cornbread batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden.
Step 6: Before serving, garnish the poppers with chives. Enjoy immediately!
