Ingredients

1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 (14 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 onion, chopped
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup chopped jalapeno peppers, or to taste
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a large cast-iron skillet.
Whisk cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; beat sour cream and eggs into cornmeal mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir cream-style corn, onion, vegetable oil, and jalapeno peppers into batter.
Pour half the batter into prepared cast-iron skillet; spread 1 cup Cheddar cheese over batter. Pour in remaining batter and spread remaining 2 cups Cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until set and the cheese topping is melted and browned, about 45 minutes.
