  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk

  • Indoors: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
  • Make a well in the bottom of the cornbread mixture and crack the egg. Whisk until smooth. Add the milk and stir, and then add the melted butter and mix well.
  • Add the drained green chilis and bacon. Add ½ the reserved bacon grease and mix well.
