New Mexican Spoon Bread
New Mexican Spoon Bread is one of the most deliciously moist cornbreads you'll ever have. It's made with Hatch Green Chile (which is a staple in New Mexican homes) and cheddar cheese. And we call it "spoon bread" because it's so moist, you'll literally want to eat it with a spoon! This is one of my absolute favorite family recipes and it's easy to make, too.

To make this New Mexican Spoon Bread
Preheat oven to 350º Mix all the moist ingredients together in large bowl, in order given. In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Pour dry ingredients into moist ingredients and mix well to form the batter. Grease an 11" x 7" or a 9" x 9" baking dish and pour just barely enough of this batter to form a layer across the bottom of the dish. Place chile on top, forming a layer across the batter. Layer 1 cup of cheese on top of chile, reserving half a cup of cheese for later. Spoon in remaining batter, covering all the chile and cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake in oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting, and serve while still warm.
