I love eating chili with cornbread, especially spicy and cheesy jalapeno cornbread. Sometimes I like eating cornbread just on it’s own! It is also great with barbeque. Jalapenos are plentiful in the garden during the summer so this is a great way to use those up.

Whether you are eating this cornbread with chili or as a side for barbeque, it is delicious.
