Finally. A green chile cornbread that is moist, flavorful, and filled with corn and chiles!
I've been experimenting for a couple of years now and believe we now have a winner.
Do you like green chiles? I grew up eating Anaheims. They are best when roasted fresh over a flame, but you can easily use the canned chiles.

What to Serve With Green Chile Cornbread
Pair this cornbread with chili and soups, as well as southwestern braised/grilled/stewed meats and beans:
- Best Beef Chili
- Slow Cooker Taco Soup
- Chipotle Pumpkin Soup

Storage and Reheating
Keep leftover cornbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (or toaster oven at 325°F), covered loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning, 10 to 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can reheat individual pieces in the microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds each.
Green Chile Cornbread
If you use canned chiles and want the heat, make sure you look for the cans that say "hot," not "mild" on them.
