The Best Cheesy Mexican Cornbread

Perfectly moist and bursting with fresh flavor, this cornbread really is the best Cheesy Mexican Cornbread!

This post brought to you by KRAFT Natural Shredded Cheese and Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine.

We’ve been grilling a lot lately. Like a ton. We just can’t seem to get enough and I have to say, I love the fact that there’s hardly any cleanup 😉 Last week I had some chicken that I was planning to barbecue and was trying to think of a nice addition to the meal.

I was considering making my brother’s zucchini casserole but then I remembered that our neighbors had brought us over a bunch of fresh corn from a local grower. Cornbread it is!

There’s nothing like sweet, fresh corn. I love it anyway I can get it during the summer and we are so fortunate to have lots of farms near us that grow the sweetest, juiciest corn ever. One of my favorite ways to enjoy corn in in cornbread.

This particular cornbread recipe is a variation on the cornbread my mother-in-law prepares for most family gatherings. I love the light, tender crunch that the fresh corn adds to the bread and the color and flavors from the pepper and chiles is just fantastic.

I like to saute up the onions, bell pepper, and corn for just a few minutes to really bring out their fresh flavors.

Unlike most cornbreads, this cornbread is incredibly moist and just full of flavor. My favorite part? The cheese.  A full two cups of KRAFT Mexican Blend cheese goes into this cornbread making it extra cheesy and delicious. KRAFT Mexican Cheese is a staple in our house and I am just loving the new stand-up pouches that I found at Safeway.

I love the perfectly golden edges – those are the best part. See this piece on the top? That baby is all mine!

This cornbread is a great way to use up leftover grilled corn as well. Just cut it off the cob and throw it in – you won’t regret it!
Other variations you could try:
  • If you like things spicy, swap pepper jack for the Mexican blend and/or jalapenos for the green chiles.
  • Eliminate the sauteing and use jarred roasted red bell peppers and green onions instead.
  • Corn not in season? Use frozen instead! Just thaw the kernels first.

    a big 10
    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your recipes, Trish! Your take on food is right up my alley. I love to cook, & have done a lot of experimenting with things that people think are great. But now that I’m on YOUR site, I don’t think I’ll ever have to work that hard again…I’ll just follow your lead. Awesome! Thanks for all the wonderful recipes & ideas.

    Your food looks absolutely divine, I’ve never seen anything so delectable in my life.
    Who are you? And where are you from? You certainly can replace a lot of those who have no knowledge of what good food tastes or should look like on Food Network; most on that network are a waste and do not deserve airtime, not one minute worth!

    Oh my gosh Trish, I <3 this recipe! I didn't grow up eating cornbread (We don't eat it in Canada) but when I moved to the USA, I became OBSESSED. But, I've actually never made it at home…and I have been making ALL THE THINGS Mexican lately. This is my new favorite recipe ever. Pinned!

    Trish this looks awesome! I just made cornbread earlier this week (haven’t blogged about it, and nothing like yours). I love the texture from the corn and red peppers! Right up my alley!
