PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray or lightly grease a couple muffin tins.  In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk and vegetable oil, cheese, peppers and bacon until well combined. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins.  Top each with a little bacon and pepper.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins until comes out clean. (Also, if you don't have muffin tins, you can use a 9 inch cake pan for Jalapeno Cheddar Bacon Sweet Cornbread)  This is a yummy one!!!!!
