Recipe Box, Sweet Red Pepper & Onion Cheesy Cornbread

This quick bread, full of veggies, tastes like cornbread but not quite as dense and heavy~
The inspiration for this bread came from the Neely’s Triple Corn Quick Bread from The Food Network
I lightened up their recipe by reducing the amount of cheese to 1 cup and I also swapped the hot jalapeno for sweet red pepper and onion for a different flavor profile
Saute onion and peppers until soft and add corn kernels
Mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in 2 separate bowls
Mix together
Add creamed corn, corn, onions and peppers
Stir to combine and turn out into a greased 9″ x 5″ loaf pan
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. Brush top with additional butter if desired
it is a little crumbly when sliced warm, so let it cool completely for firmer slices
