- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 2 (8.5 ounce) packages corn bread/muffin mix
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can cream-style corn
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the corn bread mix, salt, baking soda, corn, milk, oil and eggs.
