With a little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat you will not be able to resist this easy Jalapeno Honey Cornbread Casserole! With minimal ingredients this comes together in no time.

Corn and cornbread this time year are amazing, especially when they are combined together to create a casserole. This Jalapeno Honey Casserole is a hit!

We first made this casserole years back when my aunt brought it to a family gathering and I immediately became hooked, so obviously I had to get the recipe from her.

Ever since then it has graced our holiday tables as one of the side dishes. Cornbread Casserole or Corn Casserole however you want to call it is super easy.

We enjoy the sweetness from the honey and the subtle heat from the jalapenos. They really go well together, but I’m a huge sucker for sweet and heat together.

If you’ve never tried a Cornbread Casserole before you are absolutely missing out! There is so much flavor to this recipe but yet so little ingredients, and that is the beauty of it.

Less ingredients does not in any way, shape or form make it lack flavor. Some of the best recipes out there contain very little ingredients, and this is surely one of them.
