"This recipe was rec'd via email from Yummly in an article titled "Team Yummly Go-To Recipes", but is actually a recipe by Meagan at azestybitedotcom. Meagan is a Texas girl like myself in my "prior to Iceland" life, so we both appreciate a good cheesy cornbread w/a bit of a bite. I chose to make the jalepeno chilies (or the amt used) an optional matter for the sake of my less adventurous DH & those among you that may not share my affection for some serious "bite". Pls read my NOTES that follow the prep steps for a hint & an extra thought from me. ENJOY!"

Step 6

Step 8
NOTE #1: As a matter of personal preference developed over time, I have come to favor a cornbread not so full of whole corn kernels, so I whiz them briefly w/my hand-held stick blender. They quickly change to a creamed corn texture w/smaller bits of corn & also keep the cornbread moist = Your decision to make.
Step 9
NOTE #2: When you top the uncooked muffins w/extra cheese, just use 3-4 of your fingers to grasp the grated cheese, drop it atop the uncooked muffins & press it lightly into the surface.
