Description

These Green Chile Muffins offer a comforting, savory twist on classic cornbread. By combining a cornbread mix with yellow cake mix, you achieve a tender, slightly sweet crumb that balances perfectly with the sharp heat of drained green chilies. The addition of shredded cheddar cheese creates a rich, melty center and a golden crust. They are incredibly easy to whip up, making them an ideal side dish for chili night, a quick breakfast, or a hearty snack. The texture is moist and fluffy, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Serve them warm straight from the oven for the best experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177&# 194;°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry corn bread mix and yellow cake mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the drained chopped green chilies and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese over the hot muffins.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  10. Serve warm.
