Hello there from Roanoke Virginia folks!

I’m going to keep it short and sweet today because Tom and I are away on a little camping adventure in the Airstream!

We’re enjoying some peace and quiet by the campfire. Just what the doctor ordered.

Today, as promised, I’m sharing these Cheddar Bacon Jalapeño Corn Muffins that are the perfect side for the Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup I shared on Monday.

A nice bowl of soup and one of these muffins and you’ve got a meal in itself.

Nothing beats a jam packed corn muffin in my book as a side for a hot bowl of soup.

These beauties are moist and loaded with corn, cheddar, bacon and jalapeños. It’s a delicious flavor combo that’s sweet and savory all packed into one little muffin.

We enjoy these with not only my chicken tortilla soup but both my chilis here on the blog; my spicy black bean turkey chili and white bean turkey chili.

So now that soup season is upon us, it’s time to break out not only the soup pot, but your muffin pan and get baking. Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Cheddar Bacon Jalapeño Corn Muffins Recipe:

I used shredded white cheddar for this recipe, but you can also use yellow or a combination of the two.

You can seed your jalapenos before you chop them if you don’t like spicy, but if you prefer more spice leave the seeds in.

    These definitely would go lovely with soup…however, I could totally make a meal out of just these, especially when they have cheddar, bacon and jalapeno! Talk about a sucker punch to the tastebuds! Pinned :) Happy weekend, my friend!
