The other day I was trying to decide what to serve with a pork loin that I was planning for dinner. I wanted a change from the more routine rice and potatoes. This cornbread was my answer. The recipe comes together quickly and it was delicious. Cornbread can be sweet and savory all at the same time. The flavor in this cornbread is amped up with green chiles and cheddar cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk, canola oil, and eggs.
Mix well to combine.
Stir in green chiles and cheddar cheese.
Pour into a cast-iron skillet, preheated over medium heat, and coated with a drizzle of canola oil.
Transfer the skillet to the oven, preheated to 400 degrees. Bake approx. 25 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Slice and serve.
