Horrible. Came out swimming in grease, and was coarse and crumbly. Just awful. Flavor was not good.

It needed to cook longer than the recipe states. There was a whole lot of cheese in this bread but it didn't enhance the recipe. I wanted to love it and even used it as my weight watchers cheat! So not worth it!

Every corn bread recipe I have tried so far has had a pile of sugar in it & I don't like sweet corn bread. This one is absolutely perfect. Moist & tasty. Thanks. I now have the recipe I will always be using. I don't have to look any further.

This turned out so moist. Next day even better, surprisingly. Make sure you finely chop your jalepenos so the "bite" is just perfect...

This is a great recipe. Made it tonight to go with Crock Pot Bean Soup. We used only one Jalapeno Pepper, but will stretch to 2 the next time I make this. I used Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I will make this again. My Husband Loved it. It is very Moist and Tasty.

This was the best cornbread I have made, the peppers and cheese make it very flavorful. Went perfect with my hearty chili!

Excellent recipe. This corn bread is so moist that I ate mine with a spoon. It is very good left over, too.
