Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish (greased)
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Sharp knife (for slicing jalapeños & green onions)
  • 1 Cutting board

Ingredients

Cornbread Base

  • 1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 14.75 oz creamed corn - 1 can
  • 1 cup sour cream

Loaded Toppings

  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon - cooked & crumbled
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 2–3 whole jalapeños diced
  • 4 stalks green onions - sliced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon until crispy (oven or stovetop). Dice jalapeños and slice green onions. Grease a 9×13 dish and preheat oven to 375°F. Crumble bacon and set toppings aside.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
  • Beat eggs until frothy, then add milk, melted butter, sour cream, and creamed corn. Stir until smooth. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients gently—do not overmix.
  • Pour half the batter into the dish. Add half the bacon, cheese, jalapeños, and green onions. Spread remaining batter on top, then add the final toppings with corn kernels.
  • Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
