Jalapeno Cornbread directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine cornmeal, corn and cheese in a large
bowl and blend well. Add melted butter, buttermilk, chilies, eggs,
baking soda and salt to taste and mix thoroughly.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in each of two 9-inch cast iron skillets or
heavy 9-inch baking pans until very hot but not browned. Divide
batter between skillets, smoothing with spatula. Bake until done,
about 45 minutes.

Stuffing directions:
Combine cornbread, toast cubes and chopped eggs in large bowl and toss
lightly to mix well. Set aside.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic
and saute until softened. Add green pepper and celery and cook until
crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add gizzard, liver and heart and saute
just until they lose raw color. Season with salt and a generous
grinding of pepper. Let cool slightly.

Add onion mixture to cornbread and blend well. Stir in eggs. Blend
in enough broth to moisten lightly.
