M25, The problem with that recipe is there aren't any peppers in it.  Just chili powder (which is IMHO an abomination).

With all these people using cans and boxs... I'm going to run out of ammo.

cans and boxs are evil... evil I tell you.

So are you, but we keep YOU around for the sake of convenience.

Actually Haz there are 2 serrano peppers in there.  You need new trifocals or something, apparently.   

One other thing, Haz, seriously dude..................BEANO!!!!!

No boxes............No mixes.............no cans ........and NO SWEET CORNBREAD!!!!
Panty waist sissys eat sweet cornbread and sweet biscuits..

Take a bone in ham.. after you eat most of the ham.. take the bone with all the fat trimmings and rind and chunks of meat and put it in a big pot.. Take white northern beans.. and black beans and pinto beans and any other kind of lentils you want. ( raw and hard out of a sack)~~ NOT out of a can..... you can mix them or just use the northerns...
anyway.. wash them really good.. put them in your kettle with the ham scraps and bone...Cover with water... add salt and pepper.
cover and let cook slow for about 10 hrs or until beans are tender and soft. ..and the broth from the ham has a reddish rich look.. ( my mouth is watering)

Here is the sour cream cornbread recipe that I like... I cook by feel but these measurements should be close.
 
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup cornmeal
2 teasp. Baking powder
1/2 teasp salt
2 egg, beaten
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
3/4 cup or a little more milk
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
 
Mix everything together...I put  about 4 tablespoons bacon grease in my big cast iron skillet  and heat it up...then I pour all the batter in on top of the bacon grease and put the overflow of the grease on top of the cornbread...
Makes the top really crusty.
bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes
~~~~~~~~~
Or you can  make cornbread like this: take 2 eggs ...buttermilk. add a teaspoon of Soda ( not baking powder) . cornmeal .. salt.. consistency that you want. ( Like a heavy pancake batter)and  add your melted hot bacon grease.. you can crunch up bacon and add to it too if you want..

 put it in a cast iron skillet and bake... thats the way my grandma and mom used to make it...


And THAT my friends is how you make REAL cornbread..
if you want CAKE recipes with sugar..  I'll give you those too..
