Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 Egg
  • C Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vinegar any kind works, or lemon juice
  • C Greek Yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 can Diced Green Chilis
  • 1 C Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • Bacon Fat for greasing pan

Instructions
 

  • If you are making your own buttermilk (I always do because it's so easy), simply add the vinegar to the milk and stir. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken and curdle.
  • Next, stir the boxed mix with the egg, buttermilk and greek yogurt. Stir until well combined and there are no pockets of dry mix throughout.
  • Fold in the cheese and peppers.
  • Pour into a greased loaf tin (preferably greased with bacon fat for extra yummy flavor) and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

While roasted green chilis and cheddar is a favorite flavor combo of mine, feel free to shake things up to your liking. Here are just a few options I could think of, but don't feel limited:
  • Savory: bacon, ham, sausage, jalapeños, black beans, canned/frozen/fresh corn kernels, sun dried tomatoes, sautéed onions, scallions, different cheeses, spices, fresh herbs
  • Sweet: dried or frozen fruit, jam, honey, nuts, citrus zest, chocolate chips
