Green chile cornbread

Print this recipe
I live in the Southwest, so green chiles are kind of a thing around here. When you go out to a restaurant, the chefs sneak Hach green chiles into just about everything. I think I might have caught the bug because the recipe below is my new favorite, go-to cornbread recipe. There's just something super magical about the way these slightly-spicy chiles balance out the cornbread's natural sweetness.
Sometimes I'll make cornbread from scratch, but I'll be honest with you - it always turns out better when I use a box of Jiffy! That little, blue box really packs a powerhouse of flavor inside its cardboard walls. It really makes life pretty easy, too, knowing that a few pantry staples can turn into cornbread at a moments notice.
