Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, melted*
1 cup granulated sugar*
4 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can creamed-style corn
1/2 (4 ounce) can chopped green chili peppers, drained
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or, better yet, a 12-inch cast iron skillet. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in creamed corn, chiles, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir just until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean. If using the skillet - watch carefully as edges may brown too much and time should be under an hour. If desired, serve with butter and honey. *Some think these quantities make it too rich (and unhealthy). Use 1/2 cup butter and less sugar to taste.
