Cream-style corn, green onions and cheddar cheese add a Mexican twist to plain corn bread. I often serve this corn bread with a pot of homemade chili.

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 (8 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
Dash hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup bacon drippings, melted
1/4 cup minced green onions with tops
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Combine first five ingredients in a large mixing bowl; set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk and egg; add corn and remaining ingredients. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Do not overmix. Pour batter into a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or cold.
