1 big sweet bell pepper
1 hot pepper
1 large onion
1 c. cream-style corn
3 eggs, beaten
2/3 c. cooking oil
1 c. buttermilk or sweet milk
1 1/2 c. corn meal
1 c. grated Cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
approximately 2 to 3 tbsp. cooking oil

Chop peppers and onions. Mix together. Add the remaining ingredients. Put 2 to 3 tablespoons cooking oil in cast-iron frypan or other baking pan. Place in heated oven for few minutes. When cooking oil is hot*, pour corn bread batter in pan.

Bake at 375°F until golden brown.

*Cooking Tip: One way to tell if cooking oil is hot is drop a couple of drops of water in oil. If it sizzles and pops, it is ready.
