Serves: 4 to 6 depending on how you cut it


Ingredients
1 package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4-1/2 cup diced jalopinos {or diced fresh}
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
2-4 tablespoons sugar {optional}

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400. use a oven proof baking dish {such as a small corning ware dish} Mix together the mix, the egg, the milk and the sugar. Stir by hand just untill blended {it will still be a little lumpy}. Next blend in the cheese and the jalopinos. Bake for about 30 minutes depending on your oven. {The package directions say 20 minutes but the cheese makes it take longer}
  2. Check with a toothpick to come out clean to know if it is done. Remove from oven and let it cool about 10 minutes before cutting.{you could also use a muffin pan if you prefer}
  3. Butter liberally and enjoy. {If you use fresh jalopinos you get a lot more bite}
