1

Heat oven to 400°. Lightly grease bottom and sides of square pan, 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inches, with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
2

Stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Spread in pan.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or cool.

If you're not a fan of green chiles, go ahead and leave them out. Instead use 2 teaspoons of your favorite dried herb.
Some things like corn bread and chili are just meant to be together. Serve up a mixed-greens salad with apple slices and Cheddar cheese, and you'll have created a great Saturday night supper.
For a fun new way to eat corn bread, bake the batter in corn bread stick pans. Grease the pan with shortening, or spray with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 14 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
