- ¾ cup yellow cornmeal

- 15 ¼ oz can yellow whole kernel corn, drained
- 14 ¾ oz can yellow cream-style corn
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tsp. hot sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Sauté onion and red pepper in butter until softened.
- Pour cooked onion mixture into a mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients and cornmeal mixture, stirring until well-combined.

Notes
For a 350 degree 12" Dutch Oven, use 8 coals below and 17 on top. Lard makes an excellent grease for the Dutch Oven and will prevent sticking.
