this was good - but doesn't beat Southern Plantation Corn Bread

I made this for Thanksgiving and loved it, so did everyone at the table who tried it. The family says this recipe is definetly a keeper. I didn't have reduced fat butter or cheese so I guess mine wasn't very light but it was REALLY good.

I would make this again, but it was just a little dry, as I tried to make it using what I had on hand at the time. I didn't have "reduced fat butter," (isn't that an oxymoron or something? :)), so I cut back on the butter to 1/2 cup. I omitted the pecans since they are so expensive right now, and don't think the dish really needs them. I used four good sized jalapenos, and really expected a wallop of heat from them, but the dish was surprisingly mild. I served this dish at Thanksgiving, and everyone liked it. When I make it again, I will up the butter to the original 3/4 cup, though.
