Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup roasted and diced Hatch green chiles skins removed
  • Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  • Preheat the Bull Grill to medium-high (approximately 375°F). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese and diced roasted Hatch green chiles. The chiles’ smoky and slightly spicy flavors will infuse the cornbread with a delightful kick.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Set the innermost burners to off or low on the Bull Grill, but leave the outer burners on medium-high. Place the baking dish in the center of the Bull Grill for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cornbread from the grill and let it cool in the baking dish for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the Hatch Chile Cornbread warm as a side dish to complement barbecued meats, or enjoy it as a delicious snack.
  • Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. To reheat, simply warm slices in the microwave or oven until heated.
