Step 5

Fold in the corn kernels, chipotle peppers, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, with additional butter or honey if desired. Enjoy the smoky, spicy, and savory flavors of your Chipotle Bacon Cornbread!
