Fiesta Cornbread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease two 9X13 baking pans.

Place approximately 1/4 cup of the butter in a saucepan. Saute the onion and red pepper for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the chilies. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining butter and the sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Mix in the corn. Set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt) in a medium bowl; then add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in the onion mixture and shredded cheese. Transfer to pans, and bake for 35-40 minutes.

I like to serve this with chili or BBQ chicken.
