Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Cornbread Loaf

This 20th anniversary year marks an exciting milestone for cornbread.  Martha White is such a beloved and trusted brand that has been a staple in my pantry for many years. Cornbread, also known as the other house bread of the South, is worthy of a celebration and the competition at this year's all-star event is sure to turn out some fantastic new recipes. When asked by Martha White to develop a unique recipe for their anniversary celebration I knew it had to be something special. For my contribution to the virtual potluck celebration, I wanted to combine some of our favorite fiesta flavors into a loaf of bread that could be served alongside a bowl of pinto beans, taco soup, a salad or turned into a kicked-up grilled cheese.

Potlucks Are All About Sharing Your Best Recipes

The best part of sharing food at a potluck is the variety of choices available and a virtual potluck is no different. Be sure you take a moment to visit these other bloggers and see what they're cooking-up in their kitchens. Mouthwatering dishes like these cute as a button BBQ Chicken Cornbread Muffins from Plain Chicken and Italian inspired Caprese Cornbread from The Country Cook.
